Beef Recipes & Cooking Guides

Bar 7 Beef raises cattle in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, near Quesnel. Good beef deserves good cooking, so we've put together these guides to help you get the most out of every cut.

Here you'll find cooking temperatures, guidance for different cuts, and recipes — the same information we share with our customers when they pick up their beef.
