Beef up your meals!

Our meal suggestions for ground or roast beef will surprise your family all week long. And with a bit of planning, you'll save precious time!


Igor's tips

Get in the habit of always having some ground beef on hand! Take advantage of supermarket specials to stock up. To prevent spoilage, wrap and freeze the meat in 1-kg portions that are ready to thaw and cook.

Not only is this dish an absolute delight, but the leftovers can be reused in a thousand and one ways. Read the recipe.
