opportunities to work with beef products in lab settings, where they learn preparation methods,
explore the nutritional value of beef, and gain practical knowledge to identify and understand
various beef cuts.

“The Beef in the Classroom Experience is an incredible opportunity for our students,” said Elissa
Engel, Family and Consumer Science (FACS) Teacher, Ben Reifel Middle School, Sioux Falls.
“The program gives students hands-on opportunities to learn how to cook with beef and helps
them make beef dishes they like and would include for their family and friends. Without this
program, it would be hard to have resources available for this type of real learning.”
