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,

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.
