When beef is already in the fridge, the hard part is choosing something that isn’t the same plain steak or ground beef dinner again. These 7 recipes cover air fryer steak bites, slow cooker roast, taco salad bowls, stuffed vegetables, a burger, and a cabbage casserole, so readers can see how each dish comes together and where it belongs on the plate. The mix gives you fast pieces, long low-heat meals, hearty bowls, and small bites for nights when beef needs a fresh plan.
