This is a list of notable beef dishes and foods, whereby beef is used as a primary ingredient.
Beef is the
culinary name for
meat from
bovines, especially
cattle. Beef can be harvested from cows, bulls, heifers or steers. Acceptability as a food source varies in different parts of the world.
Beef is the third most widely consumed meat in the world, accounting for about 25% of meat production worldwide, after
pork and
poultry at 38% and 30% respectively.[1] In absolute numbers, the
United States,
Brazil, and the
People's Republic of China are the world's three largest consumers of beef. On a per capita basis in 2009,
Argentines consumed the most beef at 64.6
kg per person; people in the U.S. ate 40.2 kg, while those in the E.U. ate 16.9 kg.[2]
Veal is the meat of young cattle (
calves), in contrast to the
beef from older cattle. Though veal can be produced from a calf of either sex and any breed, most veal comes from male calves (bull calves) of
dairy cattle breeds.[7] Generally, veal is more expensive than beef from older cattle.
