Beef. It's What's For Dinner. Especially during the holidays!

In a previous post, we asked Buzzfeeders to share their all-time favorite holiday beef recipes, and we got some mouth-watering responses! Here's what they said:

No Holiday Is Complete Without A Smoked Brisket

"I’m in south Texas, so no holiday is complete without a smoked brisket! I trim it, inject with beef broth, slather in mustard, and rub with my special beef rub. Smoke it low and slow until it’s tender, juicy, and *almost* breaks in two when you hold a slice by the middle. There is absolutely no better beef dish and you will not change my mind!" —esarem94

Beef Tenderloin + Wine = Holiday Heaven

Mmm Mmm Meatballs

"My grandma used to make these delicious little BBQ meatballs for every holiday gathering. They were pretty simple slow cooker meatballs, but I have so many great memories of granny's meatballs! She passed away a few years ago, but her recipe lives on! Everyone in the family has the recipe, and someone always brings granny's meatballs to our holiday family gatherings now. I look forward to it all year!" —Sabrina D.

One Steak To Rule Them All

"One year for new year's my dad made a stuffed filet mignon. It had some sort of herb paste, spinach, goat cheese and who knows what else, but I can tell you I have thought about this steak nonstop ever since and try to convince him to make it for every holiday. To die for doesn't even begin to describe it!" —emilym4edc0ef2

Carne Asad-awesome

For the first time ever, my wife and I decided not to travel home to see our extended family for the holidays, so we're doing Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner on our own. We have decided to forego all the usual Thanksgiving food and learn how to make our favorite food: carne asada! We're just going to have a huge all-day carne asada taco party. I thought I'd be depressed and sad at having to miss holidays with the family, but TBH the carne asada taco party has me feeling pretty excited!" —Ian P.

The Beef Master

"My dad got himself a smoker a few years ago for Christmas. He had little-to-no meat cooking experience, but he really wanted to get into it. We all kind of teased him and made fun of his smoked meat obsession the rest of the year (my family is like that). The following Christmas, to everyone's surprise, he busted out a rack of the most delicious smoked beef ribs anyone had ever tasted. He had been secretly practicing all year! His smoker went from a family joke to the thing everyone looks forward to the most. I'm so proud of him!" —Brandon L.

So Many Beef Dishes, So Little Holiday Time

"I love beef all the time but especially around the holidays. Chili for those cold winter days, or a big, juicy steak with a glass of red wine! Even slow cooker meatballs are a total win! Everyone else may love turkey, but gimme the beef, baby!" —kaylalarue

The Perfect "Prime Rib"

"I use a sous vide to prepare a chuck roast and call it “prime fib” since it comes out tasting damn near like a prime rib. I mix together a head of roasted garlic, salted butter, minced parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, a bit of olive oil, balsamic, Worcestershire, and a healthy amount of cracked pepper. Rub that mix over the roast and let sit overnight. Then I put it in to sous vide for 36 hours. Serve with homemade horseradish cream and it is a scrumptious, yet affordable, roast." —vgodonnell2003

28 Days Later

"We are in the midst of dry aging a USDA Prime small-end rib eye roast. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around, it will be a full 28 days. Compound butter with garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, granulated onion salt, and pepper. Then place into the smoker over oak and mesquite. Then we let it rest until the grill gets nice and hot. Finish on all sides. Using the pan juices from the smoker for a nice, smoky and herbaceous gravy for the meat and potatoes." —Jakeinlasvegas

A New Tradition

"Last Thanksgiving, my uncle showed up with a platter of those humongous tomahawk rib eye steaks and completely stole the show! So this year, I'm bringing the tomahawks. It's a new family Thanksgiving tradition." —Nigel G.
