  • Beef Cuts & How to Cook Them
    Beef Cuts & How to Cook Them Common Cooking Cut Also Known As Methods Popular Dishes CHUCK Blade, Shoulder Pot Roast Pot Roast Chuck has a high fat content and is a flavorful cut best cooked slowly in liquid. RIB - Grill, Broil Rib Eye, Prime Rib The rib is a very tender cut whose marbling is well-suited for cooking in a hot dry heat. PLATE Short Rib Pot Roast BBQ Ribs, Pot-Au-Feu The plate is a notoriously tough cut of beef but also comes from the region that produces the ever-popular thin ribs. A classic thin rib preparation consists of a quick browning in a hot skillet followed by a long slow roast in red wine, root vegetables and herbs. A long, wet cook is required to break down the connective tissue that would otherwise render this cut too tough and chewy to eat. Corned Beef, Pastrami, BRISKET Chest, Breast Pot Roast Texas Brisket Brisket is a very tough cut of meat that requires long, slow cooking in order to tenderize. TOP SIRLOIN - Skillet, Grill, Broil, Roast The top sirloin is the tenderest of the sirloin cuts and should only be cooked in dry heat.

    Hello from your farmers Jake and Lara here at McGreal Family Farm! We are pleased to announce that we are now taking orders for our grass-fed Angus beef. Our beef is all-natural, pasture raised and 100% grass-fed. The animals are less than two years old and come from a herd that has been carefully maintained for the past 30 years in rural northeast Iowa by Jake’s parents Peter and Kristi McGreal. The animals are never given growth hormones and they are not treated with antibiotics unless absolutely necessary for their health and safety. They are pastured in an area where they have access to a host of different grasses and plants including alfalfa, red and ladino clovers, orchard grass, tall fescue and brome grass. We rotate pastures often to maximize the availability of fresh, nutritious plants and to minimize the impact on the land. The cattle have space to roam and shelter to protect them from the elements. We provide our animals a comfortable and safe environment with low stress because it results in better quality meat for us and our customers.
