COOKING TIPS AND RECIPES
How to cook grass-fed beef:
Keep it simple! There are a million opinions out there on the internet on how to cook grass-fed beef. Cook it slow, cook it fast, sear the outside fast, then slow cook, reverse sear after cooking it real slow, and on and on. We recommend you cook it about how you always have cooked your store-bought beef with just a few caveats.
-
The most important tool you can have is an excellent digital meat thermometer. For the money, we like ThermoPop by Thermoworks the best. They are easy to use, accurate, and give you a reading in seconds! Their ThermoPen is one of the best for home users if you want to spring for the extra eighty dollars.
-
Cast Iron frying pans like grandma use to do all her frying in is one of the best ways to prepare a steak and hamburgers! Use olive oil and/or butter in the pan for your steaks and your favorite oil for hamburgers with the cooking temperature set on high. Put your steak in the pan, sear one side and leave on that side for four minutes, Flip and repeat. Check the steak's internal temperature with your ThermoPop until you reach your desired temperature for the perfect finish. Use the chart supplied with your ThermoPop to know when your steak is rare, medium, medium well, or well done. For large groups use a griddle(we use a Blackstone) and follow the exact same instructions above when you are cooking in a frying pan.
-
On a grill,(we use a Rec-Tec) cook on low temperature using the ThermoPop to cook to your desired temperature. Remove the steaks from the grill when they are 20 to 30 degrees short of your target. and turn the grill up to high(about 500 degrees f). While the grill is heating up, wrap your steaks in tin foil and let them rest. Once the 500 degrees are reached, put your steaks back on the grill and sear each side. Use your ThermoPop to remove your steaks when they are just short of your desired temperature. Rewrap the steaks in tinfoil to take them to the table so they can rest until everything is ready for the perfect meal.
-
For wet beef cooking such as in a crockpot or instapot, use your standard cooking method just like any other roast or beef you cook in a crockpot.
-
Brazing, Baking, and the other ways you cook beef are easy too, just use your ThermoPop to cook to the desired temperature!
- When using a meat tenderizing marinade for steaks. We recommend Reed’s Italian dressing. It is also a great salad dressing!
-
When cooking cuts that are sometimes tough, like round roast steaks, use a mechanical meat tenderizer. We recommend Kitchen Dad.--------------------You Got This!!!

Rabun Ranch Smash Burgers
If you're a proud owner of a Blackstone Griddle Grill, you’ve probably jumped on the smash burger bandwagon with the rest of us. Luckily, you don't need a Blackstone to make our delicious Rabun Ranch Smash Burgers, but it does add a nice touch for us out here on the farm. There's something about the summertime smell of burgers on the grill while the kids play in the yard and the cows graze the pastures in the distance. But enough about the cows and the kids, let’s get on with this to-die-for recipe that the whole family will be drooling over!
Ingredients
1 lb Rabun Ranch ground beef (makes 4 burgers)
4 hamburger buns
1 sweet onion sliced and halved
2-3 tbsp cooking oil
Seasoned salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Shredded Lettuce
Sliced tomatoes
Pickle Chips
Ketchup
Mustard
Butter
Wax paper
Directions
Prepare the hamburger patties by dividing the meat into four sections and roll into 1 ½ inch balls. Set aside. Butter the buns and set aside. Heat your Blackstone Grill, griddle or large skillet to medium high heat. Toast the buttered buns on the griddle/skillet and set aside. Pour cooking oil onto the hot griddle/skillet and add 4 heepings of sliced onion to the grill, sectioning into 4 separate piles. Season onion to taste with seasoned salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook until lightly browned. Place the hamburger balls on top of each onion pile and cover with wax paper, 4 separate sections. Smash the burgers with something heavy. I use my Pawpaw’s cast iron kettle, it does the trick. After you have taken out your aggression and smashed the living daylights out of the burgers, remove the wax paper and discard. Season the patties to taste. Flip the burger/onion patties after one minute. Cook until done, about 1-2 minutes. Build each burger with all the fixings and serve with homemade fries. Grab an extra bottle of Heinz Ketchup if you're like the Rabun Ranch crowd. You're going to need it!
Rabun Ranch Ribeyes

Ingredients
2 Rabun Ranch Ribeyes
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Paper Towels
Directions
Set out the Rabun Ranch Ribeyes and allow them to reach room temperature, about 1 hour. Line a sheet pan with paper towels and place steaks on top. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt covering the top of the steaks and allow them to sit for 10 minutes. Grab a few paper towels and press the steaks firmly, removing all the moisture. Remove steaks and reline the sheet pan with another layer of paper towels. Flip steaks and cover with salt, again. Allow steaks to sit for another 10 minutes and remove moisture with paper towels. Repeat this process 3 times or until most of the moisture has been removed from the steaks. Heat the grill or skillet to high heat. Season steaks with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Place steaks on the hot grill or skillet and sear for 2 minutes. Flip and sear the other side. Cook until desired temperature is reached. Personally, I say “cut the head and the tail off and walk it by the fire!” In other words, I like my steak rare. Serve with baked potatoes and a side salad.
The Secret: The salt/paper towel process renders the most tender and juicy steak you will ever eat. You can thank me later!
