How to get Raw Beef in Survival Mode

You can add raw beef to your inventory in Minecraft by killing a cow. So let's get started!

1. Find a Cow

You first need to find a cow. Cows are very easy to find and can be found in most Overworld biomes on land.

2. Attack and Kill the Cow

Once you find a cow, you need to attack it. When you attack the cow, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Continue to chase and attack the cow. Once you have killed the cow, it will drop raw beef, and (if you are lucky) leather.
