Thanks to a good friend that raises cows, we have 647 lbs of beef in the freezer. I’ve never had a cow butchered before, so I had to do some research on what different meat options there are. Some things I learned…
- Bone in or Boneless? We decided to go boneless. I’m really looking forward to those filets!
- Ground beef or carne asada cuts? Since we do a lot of stir-fry and other dishes that take cut-up meat, we opted for more carne asada cuts.
- How big of roast? We went with 3 lbs roasts, which is supposed to have about 8 servings. Since we can have anywhere from 4 to 8 people at the dinner table each night, a larger roast was best for us.
- Flap Steak….Our butcher was fantastic at suggesting some cuts we had never heard of, such as the Flap steak.
I’m really looking forward to firing up the Treager and making brisket soon! Many new beef recipes will be hitting the website as we work our way through all this meat! Thanks to Castle Meats of Buhl, ID!
