Have an All-American Fourth of July with Beef on the Grill

(Columbia, Mo.) –There’s no better way to celebrate America’s birthday than with beef on the grill, and that is why we are sharing some grilling favorites that will make for an unforgettable 4th.


For steak lovers, these Blackstrap Steaks with Caramelized Onions will light up your tastebuds. Beef Chuck Eye Steaks or Ranch Steaks are brushed with molasses and served with a caramelized onion relish – taking its flavor up a notch. 

What’s more fun than constructing the perfect kabob like these Smoked Steak Skewers with Tomatoes, Onions and Olives. Top Sirloin Steak cut into cubes then skewered with tomatoes, red onions, olives, then sprinkled with Manchego cheese – these kabobs are a great excuse to get out the smoker, but if you don’t have one, they are just as delicious on the grill.

Nothing sparks more excitement than the anticipation of a good burger on the 4th, and these Western Burgers are just the kick. Topped with avocado, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, tomato and onions – this recipe offers a little spice with a whole lot of flavor.
