Helpful Tips for Enjoying Your Homestead Beef

🕒 Let it rest a bit:

After you’ve cooked your steak or roast, give it a little time to rest—about 5 to 10 minutes. That helps the juices settle in so every bite stays tender and flavorful.

🌡 Use a meat thermometer:

You don’t need to guess—just use a thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F, or 140°F for medium. It’s the best way to make sure your beef turns out just the way you like it.

🧂 Keep it simple:

Good beef doesn’t need a lot of fuss. A bit of salt and pepper is all you need to bring out that rich, natural flavor. Let the quality speak for itself.

⏱ Cook by temperature, not time:

Every cut cooks a little differently, so instead of watching the clock, go by internal temperature. You’ll get a better result every time.

🔪 Slice it right:

When it’s time to carve, cut against the grain. That shortens the muscle fibers and gives you slices that are extra tender.
