The French Dip Sandwich

Ingredients:

1 lb. High Point Farm grass-fed beef Minute Steaks

4 fresh Kaiser rolls; sliced and buttered

1 T. Lea and Perrin’s Worcestershire Sauce

¼ c. water

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Heat a large cast iron skillet over a medium flame. Add minute steaks one by one until they begin to slowly brown and juice. When all the meat is in the skillet, add the Worcestershire Sauce, and stir. Add remaining water one tablespoon at a time, letting the meat simmer and create an au jus dipping sauce. Don’t overcook; low and slow for five minutes. When the meat is just beyond pink, remove from heat. Stuff each Kaiser roll with ¼ lb. of meat. Pour off au jus from skillet and serve in custard cup on side for dipping. Garnish sandwich with fresh kale, sliced tomates, raw minced onion or horseradish sauce. Serve with tossed salad and a steamed vegetable for a complete supper.

Super-Slow-Roasted Beef

 

Nothing beats super-slow roasting for turning even the toughest cuts of meat into wonderful roasts. No matter how lean your roast may be, this technique ensures a beautiful cut of beef that is juicy, pink in the center, and absolutely delicious. And the best part is that overcooking the beef is just about impossible. The meat insulates itself: super-slow roasting dries the outside of the roast and locks in the moisture, enabling the roast to cook in its own juice. The flavor will be extra beefy, but patient. Super-slow roasting takes a long time.

Servings vary depending on the size of the roast. With a boneless roast, figure ½ pound per person.

Rub the roast with the herb rub of your choice, wrap loosely in plastic, and allow to sit at room temperature for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 250°F.

Place the meat in a small roasting pan, insert a meat thermometer, and cook for 30 minutes. Turn the oven heat as low as you can (most modern ovens do not go below 170°F, but if yours will accurately go as low as 150°F or 160°F, so much the better). Continue cooking the meat until the thermometer registers 120°F to 125°F. Because these tend to be lean cuts, I recommend that you do not cook them any further than medium-rare. As a guide, figure on 1 hour and 10 minutes per pound of meat at 170°F.

Remove the roast form the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes care into very thin slices to serve.

MEATLOAF
 
2 lbs. Grass-fed ground beef
¾ c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. ground cumin
¾ c. salsa (your preference)

Directions
 Bake for approximately 90 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients by hand, mixing very thoroughly. If mixture seems too dry or crumbly, add more salsa to increase moisture.
Shape mixture into a loaf and place in glass baking pan. There should be no need for a loaf pan here, although you can use one if you’re a strict traditionalist.
