Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

For Chef Mark Webster, the direct connection between food and the Kansas City area will always be barbecue. "When I meet chefs across the country and the world, they all want to know about our barbecue," he says.

This dish reminds Chef Jessica Dolson of her Iowa childhood. Dinnertime meant good, simple food, such as garden-fresh tomatoes, farm-raised beef and sweet corn.

For local Illinois flavor, Chef Brandon Zawada mixed edamame (a type of soybean) into the aioli used as a condiment on this sandwich. 

Wisconsin is known for its cheese, which is why Chef Rebecca Crump topped a T-bone with crumbled blue cheese. The combination of the beef flavor with the salty tartness of the cheese really stands out.

This sirloin steak from Chef Keith Walsh nicely sums up Nebraska. Corn with a splash of salsa reflects the most delicious aspects of the state.

Chef James Marthaler created this Asian-influenced meal with an eye toward Minnesota locals, as evidenced by the bed of Minnesota wild rice.

Picking the signature cut of beef for Kansas City was easy for Chef Jeff Kelly. He started with a KC strip and encrusted it with ground coffee. (Rich, salty steak and coffee are a surprisingly tasty pairing.)

A swirl of a berry sauce called Wojapi can be seen at the center of this beef. Enjoyed by Native Americans for untold generations in South Dakota, Wojapi inspired Chef Jamie Koehler to create a savory-sweet dish. Ask your Hy-Vee meat specialist to double-butterfly the tenderloin for you
