To help you make the most of your beef box, we’ve rounded up five irresistible recipes, complete with cooking tips for grilling, roasting, and slow-cooking to perfection.

1. Classic Grilled Ribeye Steak

Ingredients:

• 2 grass-fed ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Optional: Fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions:

1. Bring the ribeye steaks to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. Preheat your grill to high heat.

3. Rub the steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.

4. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F.

5. Remove the steaks from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

6. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired. Serve hot.

Pro Tip: Grass-fed beef cooks faster than grain-fed. Aim for medium-rare to maintain tenderness and flavor.

2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast on all sides until browned.

3. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker. Add the broth, carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, and thyme.

4. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the roast is fork-tender.
