What You’ll Get

Don’t be surprised to find that your cow isn’t made up of rib-eyes and flank steaks! Depending on the size of your share, your order may not include each and every cut of beef. For example, there’s only one flank steak and one tri-tip roast per side of beef, so it’s impossible to provide these cuts for everyone. However, you will receive an equal share by weight.

Many of our customers divide their shares further among family and friends. Just remember, when you split smaller shares, one person will end up with an extra T-bone while someone else gets more sirloin, for example. For the best quality and flavor, we recommend that you purchase the amount you are likely to consume within one year.

How Much Beef Is That?

Here’s how much meat you can expect to receive from a typical quarter. That amount will yield about 50 to 60 meals per year for a family of 4, or beef once per week.

When you purchase, you will be prompted to select from one of the cutting options below.  If you purchase a half or whole and would like to work directly with our butcher to create the best cutting order for your cooking style, please note that on your order form.

Option 1—Full Variety Option

  • Tenderloin Steak
  • T-Bone Steak
  • NY Steaks (Bone-In)
  • Rib Steaks
  • Top Sirloin Steaks
  • Sirloin Tip Roast
  • Tri-Tip Roast or flank steak
  • Brisket
  • Short Ribs (Korean style, BBQ or braising style—braising is standard)
  • Pot Roast
  • Eye of round roast
  • Round Steak
  • Rump Roast (for roast beef)
  • Ground Beef
  • Bones for soup or dogs

This option is for people who want every cut.  If you prefer grilling, stir-fry and kabobs in the summer and love to cook beef in the oven or crock pot during the winter, this option is for you.  The premium steaks only require a little salt and attention to make sure they aren’t overcooked.  The sirloin and round steaks should be marinated before using in satay, stir-fry, or kabobs.  They are incredibly flavorful, but are quite lean and cook quickly.  The roasts should be dry roasted to an internal temperature of 135 degrees.    There will be several pot roasts (bone-in chucks) that are excellent for braising and shredded beef, and one tri-tip or brisket. 

Option 2—Best Roasts, Best Steaks Option

  • Tenderloin Steak
  • T-Bone Steak
  • NY Steaks (Bone-In)
  • Rib Steak
  • Top Sirloin Steaks
  • Sirloin Tip Roast
  • Eye of Round Roast
  • Rump Roast
  • Ground Beef
  • Bones for soup or dogs

This option is for people who grill steaks and burgers in the summer and will cook a few roasts during the winter, but do not like to braise.  If you never plan ahead enough to cook a pot roast for 6 hours or marinate a round steak, this option is for you.   The sirloin and rump roasts are great roast beef—they should be dry roasted (not braised) to an internal temperature of 135 degrees or less to retain moisture, but this typically takes just over an hour.  The burger and steaks can be thrown on a grill, but do pay special attention to the sirloin—it is very easy to overcook and a little marinade makes it even better.

Option 3—“I don’t have time!” Option

  • Tenderloin Steak
  • T-bones
  • NY Steaks (Bone-In)
  • Rib Steak
  • Top Sirloin Steaks
  • Tri-tip Roast or flank steak
  • Ground Beef

This option is for people who don’t have the time or inclination to cook roasts or marinate steaks!  If you don’t like to spend more than 20 minutes on dinner, ever, this option is for you.  The sirloin, chucks, and rounds will be ground into premium ground beef.  This option will yield considerably more ground beef (approx 70 lbs) but we have plenty of ground beef recipes so you won’t get bored.  Besides, who gets tired of hamburgers!

Regardless of which cutting option you chose:

·         Unless otherwise specified, steaks will be in 2 per package.

·         All the various steaks cut 1 1/4" thick.

·         Roasts will be 2.5 -3 lbs

·         Unless otherwise specified, our dry-aged ground beef will be in 1.5 lb packages.

All packages will be wrapped in BPE-free cryovac.  Unfortunately, this is the ONLY packaging option available at our local cutting shop.

Small package option

One-pound packages of burger and single-wrapped steaks are available upon request.  If you prefer either of these, please make sure to let us know and we will add that to your cutting order.
