I enlisted one of my team members to write a fun article about beef tallow and 5 major nutritional benefits. While my dear 17-year-old friend, Gianna Napolitano, looked at me like I had 5 heads as I filtered high-quality suet from some gorgeous pieces of fat I had saved from club steaks and porterhouses, I asked her if she knew of any benefits that beef tallow offered? She said “no” (slightly grossed out by the idea). So, we discussed some of the beneficial properties of tallow while finely chopping fresh herbs from the garden.

An Introduction Perfect Pairings, Part I Beef

We have talked a little bit before about the idea of pairing different spices, and sharing different ideas as it is related to food, serving food, and preparing food. But we have not, as of yet, talked much at all about pairing! Honestly, what good is a juicy burger, succulent steak, stuffed pork chop, or perfectly marinated chicken without a collection of sides and drinks?

Meats, Meat Temperatures, and Meat Safety

Doctors have said in the past that anything less than well-done meat was bad for you, and modern doctors often say well-done meat is carcinogenic. Chefs, on the other hand, will tell you that a piece of meat that is not medium rare or medium is ruined… so where do you begin? Today, we will discuss target safe temperatures and prepared meat temperatures.

The Return of Pasture-Raised Beef, pt II

Last we talked about pasture-raised meat, we went a little off on the tangent of the dangers of factory raised meat. Today, we will get into the benefits of pasture raised meat and poultry! This is important, as farms have been a staple of world culture for thousands of years, and people have often taken great pride in the health of their crops and animals, and the reputation they had for treating the animals, earth, and plants as family.

HOWEVER, we got such an amazing response on our write-up on spices, we are going to put this pasture-raised debate off a week and tell you more about spices!

The "Secret Sauce" to the BEST Beef

We all know that beef make the meal when it is served. Whether it is a sizzling burger, a perfectly crafted center-cut steak, or a finely prepared sirloin slathered with sautéed onions and mushrooms… one key piece remains… and what if, just maybe, that one little piece could make it even better?
