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 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.
Ground Beef Stuffed Peppers with Garlic Butter Breadcrumbs
Stuffed Peppers are a nostalgic recipe many of us grew up with. It was an easy way for mom to create a healthy meal and stretch the family budget by mixing rice in with ground meat and vegetables, which would make enough to serve the whole family. Lucky for all of us, it also happens to be super delicious, especially when you include Heartstone Ground Beef which has a deeper, more complex flavor than grocery store meat, and it's much healthier for you. Growing up we only had one kind of bell pepper - green. But today they're all the colors of the rainbow and make for a festive presentation at the table.
This recipe is a jumping off point. Feel free to get creative and use your favorite spices and vegetables - corn and mushrooms are great additions. You can also top the stuffing with cheese instead of breadcrumbs (cheddar and Parmesan work well), but personally we love the crunch and garlicky flavor of the rustic breadcrumbs.
You can also switch up the ground beef. Try all-natural Mild or Sweet Italian Turkey sausage. Or if you really want to amp up the nutritional value of your Stuffed Peppers, try our Ancestral Blend Ground Beef - a blend of 5% heart and 5% liver mixed with our top-selling ground beef. So many ways to customize this recipe to your liking. Enjoy!
Shaved Steak & Cheese Sandwiches with Roasted Veg and Garlic Mayo
We recently came up with an easier, tastier way to make steak & cheese sandwiches using our paper-thin shaved steak. Instead of sautéeing the vegetables on the stove, we chop them up, toss in a little olive oil and salt, and roast them. That way, we don't have to stand over the stove and keep an eye on them and the vegetables taste even better having time in the oven to caramelize and bring out all those flavors.
You can even roast the vegetables ahead of time and just warm them up real quick when you're ready to cook the steak and make the sandwiches. We also threw a head of garlic in with the vegetables and mixed some of that soft, buttery garlic in with a bit of mayo which we spread on the bun before we added in the meat and vegetables. Working up an appetite just thinking about it. Hope you try and enjoy as much as we do. Our grass-fed shaved steak is the difference between a good sandwich and an outrageously delicious one.
