Ingredients

Beef: All you need is organic beef to make these Beef Dog Treats. I’m using organic stew meat, as this pre-cut beef is a great option and it’s less expensive. I use Organic Prairie Stew Meat, but you can also use fajita strips as these are another pre-sliced beef that works great for this. Stew meat is also a little cheaper than other cuts, making it a great option to buy for your dog so you can do organic! Plus, it’s a little tougher, making it easy to cut into very small pieces.

Tools Needed

  • Large Skillet: You’ll need a large skillet to cook the beef.
  • Cutting Board: You’ll need a cutting board to cut the beef up into smaller pieces after cooked.
  • Knife: You’ll need a sharp knife to cut up the beef.

Tips

  • I’m using organic stew meat because this is a pre-cut beef. It also is cheaper than other cuts. You can use other cuts such as fajita meat as that is usually cut into strips. If you want to use chuck roast or brisket, you’d need to cut it up beforehand.
  • If you are using a stainless steel pan, you may need to add some oil to the pan. Dog safe oils are coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil.
  • Depending on your dog’s size, you can cut this up into smaller pieces after it’s cooked like I’m doing here. If you have a large dog, you may not need to do this.

How to Serve

You can use these one ingredient dog treats as high reward treats. You can also use these Beef Dog Treats as a food topper for your dog!

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. If you have a smaller dog you can freeze half of this in a freezer safe bag and then just thaw in the fridge whenever needed.

FAQ’s

Can I use another cut of beef?

Yes, fajita meat is another great option for this as that is pre-sliced as well. You can also use chuck roast or brisket, but you’d want to cut into small chunks before cooking.
