Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

Ooh, sounds awesome. Now I need to find this version of köfte or else make it myself. Shame I didn't know about it when we still had a ton of shiso growing in the garden.

I do, but have had problems convincing her to branch out into lamb. It's more the "cute animal" issue for her than the taste. Personally, there are a ton of lamb dishes I love which I'd love to share with her, but getting her to follow doctor's advice for red meat by adding beef has been a big step!

Love beef !
How about oxtail stew ?
Does veal count ?
Like vitello alla milanese
Possibly substituting some with lamb / mutton if she cannot manage with so much beef ?
Veal sadly out. She explicitly ruled it out.

Oooooh.... we do have a few local Korean BBQ places on the list which came highly recommended. Haven't seen something like this on their menus yet, but will check a few others. Looks amazing.

Even better, make a thick homemade chili and serve it over all beef hot dogs?
How about a Reuben (corned beef or pastrami)? Even just hiding it in tacos with lots of good veggie toppings.
So far, she hasn't. She had pho two days in a row (one homemade, one from a carry-out). And she offered to have it again. Then the next day asked for NY strip again.
I think chili is on the menu for sure, particularly next stretch of really nasty weather.
