20 Amazing Warming Winter Beef Dishes
May 1, 2017
by HelloFresh Our Recipes Need some cheering (and warming) up? These winter beef dishes will fit the bill. There’s 20 of them, and we still haven’t resorted to dull stews! Promise.
1. Hearty Beef Cottage Pie with Garlic Mash Topping
Our favourite way to enjoy this hearty beef cottage pie is in individual ramekins, perfect for tucking in at the table or on the couch (#no judgement). It’s aromatic and moreish, just the way a good pie should be.
2. Sumac Steak with Fattoush
We love fattoush; that Middle Eastern panzanella style salad studded with crispy shards of Lebanese bread. There’s nothing quite like it. Lemony sumac too is the perfect summery flavour for a dismally cold winter’s night. We’ve crusted a juicy tender steak in the stuff, and you won’t believe how good it makes it taste!
3. Mild Beef Massaman with Almonds & Basmati Rice
A staple favourite from your local takeaway, you may not have turned your hand to whipping up a Massaman curry before. Once you’ve made this version yourself though, you’ll find it hard to return to anything else! This is just as creamy and comforting as the takeaway rendition.
4. Beef & Caramelised Onion Pizza with Wilted Baby Spinach
Between the richness of these sticky sweet caramelised onions, spiced beef and delicious gooey mozzarella, it’s easy to forget that these pizza bases have been cooked in your own kitchen. Now we’ve reminded you though…dig in!
5. Sweet Sesame Yakitori Beef with Asian Greens
Yakitori is a favourite late-night street food in Japan, where you’ll find alleys lined with charcoal grills selling skewers by the hundreds. We’re marinating our beef yakitori with ginger and kecap manis, and serving them with lovely mushrooms and fresh spring onion. Crunchy sesame tops off the whole tasty package!
6. Premium Steak with Mushroom Sauce and Creamy Mash
The ultimate in comforting pub fare without the hassle of getting down the pub in the cold. With this creamy mushroom sauce infused with Dijon mustard, you’ve got a night of deliciousness ahead. Don’t forget to rest your steaks for perfect tenderness!
7. Brazilian Beef Skewers with Warm Rice Salad
These tasty Brazilian beef skewers are inspired by arguably the country’s most famous dish, Feijoada. Black beans with rice is an authentic Brazilian combination, and it’s the perfect backdrop for these lovely, citrus infused kebabs. Bon appetite!
8. Thai Meatball Curry with Yoghurt & Rice
These Thai meatballs is the secret to an amazing, fragrant curry. Don’t forget to only add half the curry paste if you’re shy about spiciness. This one certainly packs a punch!
9. Classic Beef & Mushroom Pie with Crunchy Filo Pastry
This pie is absolute comfort food at its best! We’re always love using filo pastry, and its crunchy crispy topping is the perfect accompaniment for the hearty filling inside.
10. Italian Bolognese with Rigatoni & Parmesan Cheese
Enjoy this trip back to the old country with a dish that’s as comforting as a hug from Nonna in the kitchen and as familiar as a glass of red wine. We’ve subbed in delicious rigatoni instead of spaghetti for this dish – it’s perfect for catching every little bit of delicious sauce!
11. Tasty Tagliata with Roasted Garlic & Cherry Tomatoes
The perfect steak is as easy as 1,2,3. 1) take your steak out of the fridge an hour before you plan to cook it so that it comes nearer to room temperature; 2) get your pan really hot before cooking; and 3) once you’ve cooked it leave it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Easy!
12. Korean Beef Bulgolgi Bowl with Sesame Seeds
This sizzling hot Korean beef from the pan is a joy unparalleled. Delicious marinated beef and the joy of simplicity are winners in this dish. A sprinkle of sesame seeds are the crowning glory of this brilliant twist on the weeknight dinner.
13. Mexican Mince Quesadillas with Tomato Salsa
Mexican is one of the most successful cuisines –it’s been adapted and enjoyed by people all over the world. And who are we to stand in the way of such success? Here’s our take on one of the best Mexican dishes ever (complete with tasty beef, of course).
14. Tender Beef & Sweet Pumpkin Tagine with Herby Couscous
Transport yourself to the colourful streets of Fez with this simple recipe! Our cheat’s tagine is one for the masses and guaranteed to satisfy all of your comfort food cravings. From sweet to spicy to salty, the flavours in this number are sure to take your tastebuds on a whirlwind adventure.
15. Steak with Crispy Potatoes & Creamy Mustard Sauce
We’ve taken a survey and we reckon there are three key elements to a killer steak dinner. First, you’ve got to have a killer tender steak (duh). Next, delicious potatoes. Chips or mash are popular here, but you can’t go past these crispies. And finally, a sauce to crown your glory. Ta da! Dinner is served.
16. Mushroom Beef with Herby Fettuccine
What a treat! This mushroom and beef fettucine is so rich and tasty you’ll be fighting over seconds. It’s what is known in the business as a ‘umami bomb’ – layers upon layers of delicious savoury flavours. Hard to describe, but very, very easy to eat.
17. Jack-A-Potatoes with Saucy Beef Mince & Sour Cream
Scratching your head about the title of this recipe? Try saying jacket potato five times fast. One of our recipe developers has fond memories of this winter warmer, and of course we had to keep her family’s name for it. Healthy and hearty in every bite – do yourself a favour and dig in!
18. Mexican Beef Tacos with Skillet Veggies & Sour Cream
19. Chimichurri Steak with Oven Baked Chips & Green Aioli
The perfect accompaniment for a steak: is it tomato sauce? Worcestershire? Beer? No, it’s simple chimichurri! And it really is the answer to all of your condiment prayers. In true HelloFresh style, we’ve put our own spin on things with green chilli and coriander. We promise it’ll knock your socks off.
