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.

Grilled Steak with Tangy Chimichurri Sauce

For the Heartstone Farm grass fed steak cuts are more lean and muscular, this recipe is a great way to ensure tender, juicy bites of meat with a nice, bright pop of grassy, garlicky flavor. Our Grass Fed Beef Sirloin Tip Steak, Skirt Steak, Hanger Steak, Flat Iron and Fajita Meat are all great choices for this recipe.
