Beef & Bonfires – Perfect Recipes for Cool Evenings with Friends
As the sun sets and cool air rolls in, few things bring people together like a bonfire. The crackle of the fire, the glow of the embers, and the laughter of friends create memories that last long after the flames die down. At Riverbend Cattle Company, we believe the only thing that makes bonfire nights better is beef — hearty, flavorful, and perfect for cooking outdoors.
Bonfire-Friendly Beef Recipes
- Foil Pack Steak & Veggies: Wrap sirloin chunks, potatoes, and onions in foil and place them in the coals for a smoky, hands-off dinner.
- Beef Kabobs: Thread cubes of beef with peppers and mushrooms, then grill over open flames for a simple, fun-to-eat dish.
- Chili Over the Fire: Cook ground beef, beans, and spices in a cast-iron pot right beside the fire for a warm, shareable meal.
Hosting Tips
Provide plenty of blankets and seating so guests can stay cozy. Use long-handled skewers or cast-iron pans for safe cooking. Don’t forget to end the night with a sweet treat like s’mores or grilled peaches — the perfect complement to savory beef.
Bonfire nights are about slowing down and reconnecting with the people who matter most. With Riverbend Cattle Co beef sizzling over the fire, you’ll turn a simple evening into a community gathering full of warmth, flavor, and fun.
