Springhaven Farm

It's that time of year when grilling season is getting into full swing. We have plenty of gourmet beef available so get your orders in early. Best recipes for meat can be found at foodnetwork.com and cookingchanneltv.com. A great grill to use for superb outcomes is the Big Green Egg. We use ours for just about everything from steaks, burgers, and even roasts. Everything comes out juicy and tender. For the best roast that is tender and juicy, brown it on all sides in a dutch oven, add onions, beef broth, red wine, bay leaf, thyme, garlic, and salt/pepper. Bring to boil briefly, then place in 275F oven for 4 hours with lid on. You'll have a very tender roast to enjoy at the end of the day! For burgers and steaks, we use a meat thermometer on the grill or an oven probe in the oven. We use a hot grill - 500F. Watch the internal temp and we remove steaks and burgers when internal temps are around 130-135F. Let rest 15 minutes and enjoy the succulent taste of a nice juicy, tender steak or burger. If you've requested a prime rib roast, one of the best methods of cooking we've found is to preheat the oven to 500F. Place a salted and peppered roast in for 5 minutes per pound. Turn oven off, leave door closed, and remove after 3-4 hours. You'll have a perfectly cooked prime rib roast to enjoy that is pink on the inside and crispy on the outside. That is our Christmas and holiday favorite! Don't forget the healthful benefits of bone broth. We routinely use ox tail or beef bones to make bone broth (with meat bits) for ourselves and our pets. It is nourishing and healthy, providing lots of essential Omega 3 fats as well as easily absorbable calcium from the marrow and bone. Bon appetit!
