Spicy Asiany Beef

Another one of those I have lemongrass, ginger, garlic (duh), and a bunch of other random shit so hmmm…ohhh….marinated steak sounds awesome.  I wanted to use flank steak but since I can’t read I grabbed flat iron out of the freezer on accident.  No harm no foul since both cuts love smoking hot heat and on […]

Beef and noodles

Last Saturday my dad and I made a trip up to one of my favorite meat markets.  It is a little Amish shop called Yoder’s Meat Market in Shipshewana, Indiana.  It is one of those types of places that will bring a good tear to your eye when you walk in well heck even on […]

Smoked beef ribs

Ok I have to admit I have been a horrendous slacker lately in the cooking department.  It is springtime here and I have been spending nights outside working and by the time I am done it is 8ish and I have zero desire to cook. 
Friday I was staring at the freezers trying to figure out what […]

Steak with a coffee rub

One of the great advantages of beef is that it can absorb a lot of bold flavors and still maintain its personality throughout the whole cooking process.  Yes I know there are those critics out there that believe a good steak only needs salt and pepper but I don’t know about you but I love bold flavors and survive on caffeine.  So […]

Guinness braised beef oxtails

This piece of meat is exactly what it sounds like the tail.  Don’t be alarmed, don’t freak out, and definitely don’t worry it taste like beef.  The nice thing is the oxtail is a relatively inexpensive piece of meat that when braised or cooked in a soup has amazing flavor. 
I usually would have done it with some red wine […]

BBQ Tri-tip with a simple dry rub

Tri-tip is one of those cuts of beef that is slowly but surely gaining momentum.  It is a cut of beef from the bottom sirloin primal cut and also goes by the name triangular roast.  There are only two on each cow so they can be a little tricky to find but definitely worth looking around. 
Tri-tip is […]

Jamie Oliver’s Guinness beef pie

I stole this idea from Jamie Oliver’s new show on Food Network called Jamie At Home.  Great show that features a new ingredient each week and the recipes are focused on that ingredient.  Lot of great ideas and so nice to actually see Food Network showing a show that is not some bimbo standing there […]

Beef Stroganoff

Was happy to see an great article about one of the families I buy my pigs and chickens from.  It is so awesome to see a great local family taking pride in the quality of animals that they raise.  Check out the article here and Seven Sons here.
Beef stroganoff is a beautiful dish that is simple, easy, […]

Yankee chili or chili stew

It would be a crime to call this chili.  Chili to me in a beautiful and pure thing consisting primarily of ground chili peppers and meat with the focus being on the flavors of the chilies used.
However, if you are from the north this is what chili is to you.  If you happen to live in […]

Guinness beef ribs

You have to love Indiana in the middle of winter.  Over the weekend we had a high of 11.  Oh was so nice especially Saturday morning when I decided to play racquetball and had to sprint into the gym.  The greatest part was walking errr…running out from the gym to the truck soaked in sweat. 
Actually […]
