Beef is the theme for this week’s Gluten-Free Menu Swap. I’m often trying to find a theme for the menu swap that we haven’t chosen before. And this seems to be the first time for beef. Other than the few recipes I’ve linked in our menu below, you may be interested in Beef Kabobs and my review of Gluten-Free Gobsmacked’s recipe for Cheese Bread, which I have used for hamburger buns.

I also found some informative links you may find interesting if you eat beef:

• Cuts of Beef - explained with suggested methods of cooking and recipes
• Guide to Lean Cuts of Beef – with fat and calorie totals indicated
• Best Value Steak Cuts – rated by tenderness, flavor, and price
• Grass-Fed Beef vs. Grain-Fed Beef – differences in nutrition, taste, and tenderness explored

Check out the Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup below for more gluten-free menus, meals, recipe links, and ideas for including beef in your meals.

Gluten Free Menu Swap Roundup

Angela’s Kitchen: Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Meals
Last month, Angela’s Family purchased over 100 lbs of grass-fed beef. Fortunately, she has plenty of freezer and beef recipes to make good use of it. You may want to consider trying Beef Empanadas, Enchilada Meatballs, or Korean-style Shredded Beef Tacos. This week, her family will get to enjoy Beef and Butternut Squash Stew, Mexican Cornbread Casserole, as well as Homemade Beef Sausage, Chicken White Bean and Kale Soup, and Swedish Meatballs.

The Peaceful Mom: Simple Gluten-Free Menu
Kimberlee is preparing London Broil for her family this week. She also has Chicken Enchiladas, Fresh Tomato Cucumber Salad, Black Bean Chicken Chili, and Chicken Wings on the dinner menu. You will also find breakfast and lunch recipes/ideas on her menu this week.

Renee doesn’t often eat beef, or meat of any kind, at her house. But she does have plenty of tasty meals on her menu this week: Cauliflower Crust Pizza, Sweet Potato Black Bean and Kale Tacos, Vindaloo Vegetables with Rice, Potatoes and Peas in Red Curry, and Roasted Tofu with Brussels Sprouts.
