Hi, I’m Danika. I am not a professional chef, but I am a very enthusiastic home cook who genuinely loves being in the kitchen. When we started working with our own grass-fed beef, I was new to cooking it too, and because our beef is particularly lean, there was definitely a learning curve.

So this page is where I’m sharing all of it. The wins, the mistakes, the dry roasts, the meals that surprised me, and the recipes I would absolutely make again. Hopefully, if you are new to grass-fed beef like I was, you can learn from some of my trial and error before making the same mistakes yourself. And if you already know your way around grass-fed beef, maybe you will still find a new recipe idea or a different way to use a cut you already love.

Most of the photos you see here are of meals I actually made with our beef or pork. Occasionally I use a stock or professionally styled photo because, while the food may have tasted amazing, my plate did not always look quite ready for a magazine cover. Again, home cook, not food stylist.

I have worked my way through most of the cuts we offer, so if something shows up in your box and you are not sure what to do with it, check here first. If you do not see it, reach out. There is a good chance I have already cooked it, or at least attempted it.

And if a roast or steak ever comes out too dry or tough, do not toss it yet. One of my favorite rescue tricks is to put it into a slow cooker or pressure cooker with some beef stock and a little acid, like lemon juice or vinegar. It may not become the meal you originally planned, but you can usually turn it into something tender, flavorful, and worth saving.

Most importantly, if you feel like you cooked one of our products properly and something still seems wrong with the quality, please reach out to us. We want to know, and we want to make it right. We never want anyone to be unhappy with the meat they receive from us.

So if you are new to grass-fed beef, browse around, learn from my mistakes, steal the ideas that worked, and give it your best shot. I’m still learning too.
