What Picky Kids Actually Eat From a Beef Share

When parents claim their first beef share, the most common worry is: will my kids actually eat this? The honest answer is yes — but you have to start with the right cuts.

Wagyu ground beef is the universal kid food. Tacos, spaghetti, smash burgers, meatballs, sloppy joes. If your kid eats anything with ground beef in it now, they'll eat it more enthusiastically when it's Wagyu. The flavor is richer and the texture is more tender.

Beef tenderloin tips, sliced thin and cooked fast in a cast iron, are a sneaky kid favorite. Serve them with rice and a sauce on the side. Kids who say they don't like steak almost always like tenderloin tips.

Pot roast is the workhorse. A 3-pound chuck roast cooked in a Dutch oven with carrots, onions, and potatoes for 3 hours produces a meal that even toddlers eat. The connective tissue breaks down into a savory, almost-sweet flavor that kids respond to.

Save the bone-in ribeyes for date night. Save the skirt and flank for adult tacos. Use the ground, the tips, and the roasts as the foundation of your family's weeknight meals — and you'll find that a share disappears faster than you'd expect.
