By Heartstone Farm Kitchen

One of our favorite ways to cook Heartstone Farm's grass fed stew beef is in this hearty dish. The port wine pairs so well with the nuanced flavor of our beef and tenderizes it in the braising process. And the pearl onions add a sweet contrast to the richness of the stew. If you don't have port on hand, you can use another fortified wine like Madeira, Marsala or sherry. But be sure to choose a quality wine you would happily sip.

Thai Beef Skewers

We love grilling up skewers. It's a great way to feed a crowd and looks fantastic served up on a platter with whatever greens and vegetables are in season and a side of hearty rice. It's one of our go-to's for outdoor entertaining. We recommend Heartstone Farm's grass fed and finished Flat Iron Steak for this recipe because it is a great cut to marinate and has nice marbling that delivers on rich flavor. Don't forget to slice AGAINST the grain before skewering to ensure tender, juicy results.
