List of beef dishes

Beef can be harvested from cows, bulls, heifers or steers.

Acceptability as a food source varies in different parts of the world.

[1] In absolute numbers, the United States, Brazil, and the People's Republic of China are the world's three largest consumers of beef.

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.
