Beef

When it comes to making dinner, we love making a delicious recipe based around one of our favorite proteins – beef! At The Wooden Skillet we love all the different cuts of beef: steaks, beef tenderloin, flank steak, ground beef, etc. No matter how you cook it, it’s always something that everyone loves!
