Cinco de Mayo Celebrations with Beef!
Five ideas for beefy dishes, perfect for celebrating the fifth day of the fifth month. As if you needed another reason to enjoy a tasty beef meal!
This Cinco de Mayo we bring you five delicious options for steak on the grill. The weather is warming up which means you're getting your grills fired up and your taste buds are craving light, fresh flavors.
- Grilled Top Sirloin Filets with Smoky Orange Sauce hits all the right spots-spicy, fresh, savory and smoky. Talk about a flavor combination. And it's all complete in about 35 minutes.
- Speaking of oranges, try our Orange-Chipotle Skirt Steaks. Served with chips and quac, this will knock your socks off!
- Mexican Soft Tacos take nearly no time at all since they utilize steak leftover from a previous grill night! Top traditionally with tomatoes, lettuce and tangy sour cream.
- If you're looking for more "finger food," serve up Mojo Beef Kabobs. Orange juice, lime juice, oregano and cumin make a bright sauce to drizzle atop the kabobs.
- Grilled Southwest Steaks with Sunset Salad will be a sight for your eyes, ears and mouth. The sizzle of the steak on the grill, the smell of chipotle and cumin and the beauty of the colorful corn salad-ole!

Modern Twists on Mom's Classic Recipes
 | |
London Broil |
This Mother's Day surprise her with a delightful twist on traditional recipes. We're sure you've had one of these dishes-perhaps one was your Mom's go-to recipe or something you shared with her when you'd eat out. Whatever your history with these dishes, you'll now have a fun new take on "traditional."
Take London Broil, for example. Did you know that London Broil isn't a cut of beef, but rather a very classic recipe/preparation method that can be made with a variety of cuts? Our London Broil recipe shares cook times for Flank steak, Top Round steak and Chuck Shoulder steak. It also uses bottled red wine vinaigrette for the marinade, cutting down on the number of ingredients you need to make this tasty classic.
Another classic dish, often shared at Mexican restaurants: fajitas! There are so many ways to modernize the fajita and enjoy the restaurant favorite at home. Try deconstructing the dish with our recipe for Beef Fajita Salad with Mango-Serrano Vinaigrette. Or you can change up the way the fajitas are served with Beef Fajitas on a Stick! |

Beef's Favorite Ingredient of the Month-Eggs
 | |
Beef & Veggie Frittata |
Have you ever tried Steak and Eggs? If you have, you understand the powerful combination of flavors and textures! If not, here are some of our favorite takes on the classic breakfast dish-but why limit them to just breakfast?
A Beef and Veggie Frittata is a great way to pack in those healthy vegetables while a
makes the most of leftover steak or roast. Serve the hash with an egg (any way you like it) and you've got one well-rounded meal!
For an international flare on the American classic, try Aporreadillo Con Salsa Verde (Shredded Steak and Eggs with Green Salsa). The eggy dish is perfect for a weekend brunch-and a crowd since it serves eight! Our recipe provides directions for homemade tomatillo salsa, but feel free to use your favorite jarred salsa too.
Lastly, take a trip across the globe with a Korean-Style Beef and Rice Bowl. This classic Korean dish is hearty and fast since it uses cooked rice and leftover steak. An over-medium egg can be broken over the top and used as a "sauce" for the entire meal. Delicious! |

Start Your Day Off Right with Protein!
What you choose to consumer each morning often sets the stage for the rest of your day. Including protein as part of your breakfast ritual will not only help you meet your high-quality protein requirement but is the perfect way to energize your day and set your daily protein plan into motion.
Many Americans are searching for the best way to address their health concerns, manage their weight and satisfy their appetites. Rather than turning to another fad diet, the answer may be as simple as changing the way we fill our plates during each meal. A growing body of evidence indicates that many people may benefit from including more high-quality protein throughout the day to maximize the positive role protein plays in weight management, healthy aging, muscle maintenance and disease prevention.
And the best news of all? Just one 3-ounce serving of lean beef provides nearly 50 percent of the Daily Value for protein. In fact, beef is an excellent source of protein, zinc, Vitamin B12, Selenium and Phosphorus and a good source of Niacin, Vitamin B6, Iron and Riboflavin.
This makes lean beef the perfect partner for your everyday breakfast favorites like whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products, making it easier to start your day in a balanced way.
