Spring has finally shown up!
It has been one of the longest,
snowiest winters in history,
holding promises of a good
growing season.
We will be delivering to
Steamboat Springs, May 6th
between 1 and 2 PM at the
little toots parking lot (we
have eggs too), as well as the
Farmers Market starting in
June, and deliver to Denver on
May 10th. Monthly deliveries
will be scheduled to the Front
Range, the next date can
usually be found on our
website.
This issue contains our first
online cooking show, in which
I'm demonstrating a recipe
using round steak. Let us know
what you think!
In April we were a
semi-finalist for the Gallo Awards.
Unfortunately we did not win,
but I am hopeful that next year
we will enter again and
place.
Sustainability
Energy
Savings
Conventional agriculture
is one of the most energy
intensive activities
there is. Sustainability
requires that a process
can be carried on well
into the
future.
We take pride in the
minimal amounts of energy
needed to raise our grass
finished beef. The lack
of petro- chemical
fertilizers in our
operation, (used on most
farms), further reduces
our demands on tight
world energy
supplies.
We are not only
striving to reduce our
energy consumption, but
are searching for ways to
produce all the energy we
consume on our ranch. By
purchasing grass finished
beef you are helping to
reduce energy
consumption, which will
hopefully reduce the
price at the pump we all
pay.
The round steak
is a lean cut and it is
moderately tough. Lack of
fat and marbling, makes
this cut of meat, dry out
when cooked with dry-heat
cooking methods like
roasting or grilling.
Round steak is commonly
prepared with slow
moist-heat methods
including braising to
tenderize the meat and
maintain
moisture.
The round steak has
traditionally used in
london broil and chicken
fried steak. In creating
my recipe this month, I
have gone against
conventional wisdom and
am recommending grilling
a stuffed round steak on
a medium - medium low
temperature.
The beef is just to good
for words. Flavor and
jucie`s that are real
beef, not just fat.
Thank You,
Mike Bingo

After a lengthy search
for quality, grass-fed
beef harvested with
integrity, I'm grateful
to have found Rockin' J
Cattle. Not only is their
beef delicious, but as a
Weston Price fan (
www.westonaprice.org) of
old- fashioned nutrition,
I am pleased to offer
this excellent food
filled with nutrients to
my family and clients.
Knowing I'm helping to
support a local rancher
makes it an even better
experience.
