Source: The Spice House Recipes A few weeks ago we received a 1/8 cattle share of grass-fed beef from Heritage Foods / Hearst Ranch. In amongst the steaks, roasts, and ground beef were a few pounds of meat labeled “fajita strips”, which provided a challenge for me as to what to do with them. Typically… Continue reading Braised Beef with Harissa and Preserved Lemon

Churrasco Skirt Steak with Cilantro Pesto
Inspired by Three Guys from Miami: Churrasco Estilo Cubano Churrasco is a Portuguese/Spanish term referring generally to grilled beef, a popular ingredient in the cuisine of Argentina, Brazil, and other Latin American Countries (according to Wikipedia).

Paprika-Cumin Marinated Sirloin Steak and Medley of Roasted Squash
Adapted from How to Cook Meat Last week we splurged and ordered 40 pounds of grass-fed, grass-finished Angus beef for the freezer. If you recall, I had to do a major freezer clean-out to accommodate the giant beef back ribs I had previously ordered. I don’t know how, but we managed to squeeze almost all… Continue reading Paprika-Cumin Marinated Sirloin Steak and Medley of Roasted Squash
Pot Roast with Carrots and Parsnips

Then on cooking day, plan on starting them fairly early because they need 6 to… Continue reading Big, Bad Beefy Back Ribs
Primal Burgers…buns need not apply
A mid-week cookout, just because! First, the burger meat! Some people might gasp in horror at this, but others will nod knowingly in approval – but I have ADDED FAT to the grass-fed ground beef because it was 90% lean. Not just any old fat, mind you, but 100% pure beef lard from grass-fed cattle… Continue reading Primal Burgers…buns need not apply
Beef Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine
Created using an assortment of recipes from Epicurious.com Although it is spring here in Georgia, we’ve had some cool, damp weather this week which led me in a retreat to a hearty, stick-to-your-bones dish (so to speak). There’s not much more warming to the soul than a bowl of braised meat served over creamy, mashed… Continue reading Beef Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine
Blackout Tuesday and Beef Stroganoff
Thanks to some powerful storms that rolled through Georgia in the wee hours of April 4th, we were without electricity for 20+ hours. The lack of all-things-electric for a day was a gentle reminder of how our lives revolve around computers, the internet, and the ability to light a room at the flick of a… Continue reading Blackout Tuesday and Beef Stroganoff
