FarmEats Grass Fed Beef Osso Buco

FarmEats Grass Fed Beef Osso Buco

As the days get shorter and we get closer to winter, we always love a rich braised dish such as FarmEats Grass Fed Beef Osso Buco!

While a traditional Milanese Osso Buco calls for veal shanks, (is it possible that some restaurants use beef or pork shanks rather than a more expensive veal shank?) we use 100% grass fed beef shanks for the richer flavors.
Also, we tend to not use flour in our cooking.

In any case, grass fed beef osso buco is a perfect wintery farmers market dish, as most local farmers still have some root vegetables and possibly (green house) tomatoes or other tomatoes will suffice.

We love braising slow and low, as you let the oven do the cooking work!

FarmEats Grass Fed Osso Buco;

Cut and dice the veggies; garlic, onions, carrots, potatoes, turnips, parsnips.

Preheat the oven to 285 degrees.
Sear the room temperature, FarmEats Grass Fed Beef Osso Buco in an oiled oven proof pan.  
Toss in the garlic and onions, and diced tomatoes.  
Add in liquid (until half way up the osso buco); wine, beef/pork/chicken stock and fresh spices (oregano/basil/thyme) + salt to taste. 

Bring to a simmer on the stove top. Place into the oven and set timer for an hour.  Then after the hour, turn over the osso buco, and braise for another hour repeat until osso buco is soft and falling off the bone- 3+ hours. 

Serve FarmEats Grass Fed Beef Osso Buco with polenta, risotto,
or a piece of crusty bread!

Bon Appetit!

FarmEats BBQ Tips and Tricks!

FarmEats BBQ Tips and Tricks!

FarmEats BBQ tips and tricks
  • It is best to grill room temperature meats.
  • You can always cook the meat more, but not less!
  • Chewier beef cuts such as; skirt, flank, tri-tip, flat iron, London broil, etc., need to be seared quickly and cooked rare. 
  • Let the cooked meat rest under an aluminum foil tent on a cutting board for about 5 minutes, to let the juices settle in.  
  • Cut steaks against the grain.
  • When marinading meat discard the marinade after using-do not put the cooked meat back into the raw marinade!
  • When cooking different foods- beef, chicken, fish and veggies, be cognizant of how long the foods take to cook.  You can always blanch the veggies, par cook the chicken, so that the timing of the delivery of the cooked food will be perfect!
  • When BBQing a big hunk of meat; pork butt, short ribs, dino ribs, etc., give yourself enough time for slow and low cooking. 
  • Always BBQ with a cold beer close at hand.  
  • When cooking for guests, cook something that; you know how to cook, is consistently good, and is easy.  And try not to experiment with some new grill, or food or technique, guaranteed to end ugly.
  • Always plan ahead; marinades, sauces, dishes, gas in the tank, wood for the fire, chill the beer and wine, etc.
  • With fatty meats, and marinades watch for the grill flare up, wouldn't want the food to be burnt. You can always turn off a burner or move the coals around to distribute the heat effectively.  
  • Always Grill FarmEats 100% grass fed beef, pasture raised pork and chicken for best results!

A Butcher Explains Why So Many Burgers Taste the Same

A Butcher Explains Why So Many Burgers Taste the Same

GQ  BY JAMIE FELDMAR

One of the country's best butchers explains the bland burger phenomenon—and offers some tips on how you can make a better one your damn self.

threes-meat-hook-burger-3.jpg

Ben Turley is the co-owner of The Meat Hook, a whole animal butcher shop in Brooklyn that specializes in grass-fed, grass-finished beef from local farms, and the culinary partner at Three’s Brewing—and he has some very strong feelings about the state of the hamburger today. In short, he's bored with most burgers, and it has everything to do with the meat between the buns. Here, Turley explains his, um, beef with the modern burger industrial complex. Better yet, he has a few tips on how to make yourself a better burger. Prepare to win the summer.

Burger "reviews" usually upset me, because when most people talk about a burger, they’re not actually talking about the burger itself. They’re talking about the cooking technique, the toppings, and the bun. But they don’t talk about the single most expensive product on the plate, with the biggest environmental footprint, and the thing that a restaurant is potentially building their reputation on, which is the meat. The only comment about the meat is whether it’s juicy—but honestly, if a kitchen knows anything at all about what they’re doing, your burger will be juicy.

No one asks about transparency or sourcing on a burger with remotely the same gravitas they use to speak to, say, produce from local farms. People rarely call out where their burger comes from, because they usually don’t know. Sometimes you see a supplier name (like La Frieda), but that doesn’t tell you much about where the meat actually comes from.

The truth is that most burgers taste the same because nearly 85 percent of the beef market is owned by the same four companies, whose entire business model is built on monopolizing the market, driving prices down, and squeezing farmers to feel the effect of their management while they control the consumer dollar. So 85 percent of the distributors, retailers, and chefs are getting the exact same commodity beef. On an environmental level, this beef is the most damaging agricultural commodity, and on a consumer level, commodity beef is filled with stuff that cows don’t naturally eat: corn, soy, sugars, and more that give it an unnaturally sweet flavor. Remember the picture of red Skittles raining down a highway a few months ago? Those defective Skittles were on their way to a factory farm to be used as feed for cattle. This is where we’re at, ethically, with the beef industry.

On top of that, almost all burgers made from commodity beef are coming from the same cuts, which are usually trim and trash that aren’t otherwise marketable. The only way to make burgers made from this beef taste different is through cooking technique (i.e. a flat top versus a grill), toppings, and buns. Yes, you can add some flavor with wet or dry aging, but the real problem is that most people are working with a product that has so little distinguishable flavor of its own. And sure, you might be able to get some people believing in the quality of a burger because there’s a fancy chef cooking it. But it really all comes down to the raw materials. And we can do better.

The Butcher's Guide to Building a Better Burger at Home

Go Grass-Fed
The flavor difference between commodity beef and beef that’s been grass-fed and grass-finished is truly night and day. Grass-fed beef makes beef taste more like itself—it’s more savory and more meaty, and that artificial sweetness from grain feed is totally gone. Honestly, the best way to improve your burger game at home is to develop a relationship with someone who knows where their meat comes from. It could be a butcher, a farmer, or a grocer that can answer your questions. You want to buy meat from cows that lived outside and ate grass their whole life. That’s it. That’s the most important thing. The market is growing by a healthy margin every year. You can find this near you. You don't have to live in a large city on the coast. I buy this stuff in Ohio when I visit my parents.

Cook With Care
Grass-fed meat has less intramuscular fat, so it’s best to cook it medium-rare so it stays juicy. At home, use a heavy-bottomed pan. But hey, if you like to grill, then grill! Just don't put the burger directly over the flames—you'll just taste char. Cook it over lower heat, so you get the grill flavor without the grill dominating.

Dress to Impress
When you start working with better beef, it changes the way you think about a burger, and how you eat it. You should put whatever you like on a burger on your burger, but I just do salt, pickle, and onion. I think about the farmer who raised this cow in a field for 32 months, then drove it to the slaughterhouse at 3 A.M., and I appreciate the work that went into getting this burger onto my plate. You don’t need to drown your burger in a ton of condiments after that.

FarmEats Irish Grass Fed Beef Stew!

FarmEats Irish Grass Fed Beef Stew- just in time for

St. Patricks Day!

FarmEats Irish Grass Fed Beef Stew!  

Nothing like a nice warm rich beefy stew for these colder days and nights.  With St Patricks day coming up, nothing like an Irish Grass Fed Beef Stew!

What makes a beef stew an Irish Beef Stew?  Seems to be the addition of dark porter or stout beer- Guinness for example, Captain Lawrence makes a nice Smoked Porter!  As well as 100% grass fed beef, since in Ireland that is all there is -none of that feedlot, grain fed nonsense!   

We like to keep it simple, and love cooking stew slow and low! Simmering on the stove top or burbling away in a Dutch oven, at 285 degrees, for hours, stirring every hour or so.

Start out with 2 or 3 pounds of FarmEats 100% grass fed stew beef (1 inch cubed chuck roast) put it into a stock pot or Dutch oven, add in a couple of diced onions and garlic, add in a cup or so beef/chicken stock, stir and let simmer a bit.   Next up, slowly pour in a can or bottle of stout or porter stir in and let simmer on the stove top, or put the Dutch oven, covered into the oven for about 1 hour, then stir it a bit, cook another hour.  In the mean time, cube up some root vegetables and potatoes, and then add them into the pot, along with fresh (or dried) spices; thyme, basil, parsley, oregano, ground pepper, and salt.  We like our Irish beef stew nice and thick- so you can add a bit more or less porter depending on how nice and thick and rich you like your stew.  Check again, and stir a bit, everything is ready when the beef is fork tender and the vegetables are al dente!
