Subject: The Pastures of Rose Creek: This Week's Harvest


Hello everyone! And the "recipe round up" continues this week as we explore more of the lesser known cuts with new and mouth watering recipes using our delicious Piedmontese Beef!  But first...a sneak peak at the fall garden...

everything's coming up...brassicas (and other fall varieties).

And for our more herbivorously (yup - it's really a word) inspired friends - the fall garden is teaming with verdant, new life!  Young kale and arugula greens assert themselves with every inch they grow - onions, cabbages, rutabagas, and beets all boast their emerald and kelly green crowns as they anxiously await the day they are "chosen"-  heralding their maturity and ripeness.  

So - just a few more weeks until a crisp, new composition of greens and things abound our market table!  For now we have you covered with the last of our summer produce - pears, okra, and watermelon, and perhaps a few other surprises!

more for the carnivore.

And for the more carnivorous of us - the Piedmontese continues to be a huge success!  Game day cleaned our remaining Pied. ground beef out this past weekend - leaving our market freezer a much lighter haul on the way home. But not to worry!  We also will be offering our grass fed Limousine-Angus ground beef - which is also sustainably raised, healthy and delicious!!!  

And we still have many Piedmontese cuts to chose from!  Including, tender roasts, cube & round steak, short ribs (for your next game day bbq!), stew meat and stew bones, and much more! 

In fact - it was one of these "lesser known" cuts that turned two "disenchanted-hadn't-eaten-beef-in-two-decades" former beef eaters into regular beef-eatin' customers!

"Beef is back on our menu thanks to Pastures of Rose Creek. We stopped buying commercial beef or eating beef in restaurants years ago. To have access to grass fed and grass finished (no soy) Piedmontese beef is a dream come true because not only do we know where our beef now comes from and how it was humanely raised and fed, we also know our farmers. It just doesn't get any better than that! We first tried Piedmontese cubed steak and fork tender is an understatement. And the steaks? There are no words to describe the steaks. Unbelievable taste and healthy, too!"  - Larry and Debra Davis

So this week, I will start with a recipe on the Cut that got them hooked - Cube Steak.

wait a minute....cube steak?
Also known as "minute steak" - mostly due to how quickly and easily it cooks - cube steak is usually considered a "lesser" cut.  But let us tell you - there is no such thing with Piedmontese beef!  Make a delicious country fried steak...southern style with creamy gravy, try it Philly Cheese style or parmigiana...or really class is up with...
Spinach & Gorgonzola Stuffed Cube Steak (click the link below!...I highly recommend this website for many delicious ways to prepare your Piedmontese Beef!)
...Not in the mood for something fancy?  Try our Limousine-Angus ground beef with sloppy joes tonight!
