Atten Foodies and Grass Fed Steak Fans! Delmonico Beef made easy!

This pan seared steak preparation is topped with a garlic and herb compound butter, resulting in a piece of beef that just melts in your mouth.

Delmonico Background

According to Wikipedia, the term Delmonico Steak refers to both a cut of beef and a presentation of steak dinner prepared from it, made world-famous by Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City during the mid 1800s.

Over the years, the term Delmonico has been applied to at least 8 different cuts of beef including Club, Strip Loin, Ribeye and Sirloin. And to this day, there are plenty of die hard foodies who still like to debate which cut was used in the original preparation. However, for the rest of us, the term Delmonico steak is used to describe what the general public would regard as "a top grade steak". When a restaurant advertises a Delmonic steak, it could be prepared any number of different ways. The recipe below is for a pan seared steak topped with a garlic and herb compound butter.

Recipe

• Ingredients:

Grass Fed Steaks cut about 1 inch thick (Ribeye, NY Strip or Sirloin)

1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

1/2 teaspoon kosher sea salt

• Compound Butter (see below)

Herb-butter

Compound Butter Ingredients:

wax paper

1/4 cup Organic, unsalted butter (Room Temperature)

1 clove garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Compound Butter Preparation

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Mix thoroughly.

2. Put the butter mixture on a piece of wax paper and form into a log shape.

3. Chill the butter log for at least one-half hour to allow the flavors to combine.

You can keep this butter chilled and just slice off pieces as needed.

• Steak Preparation

1. Sprinkle your grass fed steaks with the pepper and salt; then rub each steak with a small amount of olive oil.

2. Pre-heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat; once it is preheated, turn the temperature down to low.

3. Sear the steak on both sides (3 - 5 minutes per side)

4. Reduce the heat to as low as it will go and slowly cook until it reaches your desired internal temperature (see our cooking temperature guidelines for cooking grass fed beef)

5. Pull the steak off the skillet and allow it to rest for 10 minutes!

6. While it is resting, slice off a piece of the compound butter and let it melt on top of the steak.

1 tsp ground allspice

2 bay leaves.

2 stalks diced celery.

Why is Grass Fed Beef Better for you?

A balanced diet is important to maintaining overall good health. So what could be better for you than grass fed beef? Here is some interesting information.

"Most grass-fed cattle are leaner than feedlot beef, lacking marbling, which lowers the fat content and caloric level of the meat. Meat from grass-fed cattle also have higher levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and the Omega-3 fatty acids ALA, EPA, and DHA.^[17] While the research on CLA is unclear with regard to humans, it has shown many positive effects in animals in the areas of heart disease, cancer, and the immune system^{[citation needed]}."

So stop by the week of 3/22 and try some, you will be sure to notice the difference!

Look what is coming to The Butcher Block! Grass Fed Beef and more!

Lean and mean and not hard to cook at all! Pork is what's for dinner!

The joys of cooking a home prepared meal are made that much easier when you have the quality of meats that we offer! For example take the Center Cup Pork Loin Chop...taste great either grilled, baked, fried. Keep in mind that one of the worst things that you can do to a chop is overcook! Also if you have time:

*"dissolve about ¾ cup of kosher salt or 5-6 tablespoons of table salt and 5-6 tablespoons of sugar in 2-3 quarts (2-3 liters) of cold water in a large resealable bag or plastic container. Let the chops sit in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours in the brine solution, turning the bag or chops once. "

Sear the chops on both sides before fully cooking. This will seal in the moistness of the meat. 2-3 minutes on either side will do the trick.

For more information on how to cook your chop ask Ron or follow us on Twitter @butcherblocklv!

Tips for cooking your BEEF Burger!!

• For juiciness and best flavor, use relatively lean meat (80 to 90 percent lean) but not the very leanest; you need a little fat for mouthwatering burgers.
  
• Keep ground meat refrigerated up to two days in its supermarket wrap (or check the use-by date on the package).
  
• Thoroughly wash surfaces, hands, and utensils that come in contact with raw meat. Do not allow uncooked burgers to stand at room temperature more than one hour.
• Don't overmix when combining meat with other ingredients. Don't squeeze or compress the meat when shaping it into patties or you'll end up with dry, tough burgers.
• To prevent sticking, get the grill rack good and hot before putting the burgers on. When grilling very lean ground meat, poultry, or fish, it's a good idea to spray both sides of the burger with a nonstick cooking spray or brush with a light coat of vegetable oil.
• Never flatten or score burgers with a spatula as they cook or you'll lose precious juices.
• Cook all burgers thoroughly. Burgers don't have to be well-done to be safe — just not rare. Cooking times will vary, depending on the thickness of the patties and the heat of the grill, so the only way to be sure the burgers are done is to make them all the same size, then break into one to check. Or you can use an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the patty to get a reading in seconds.
• Use a long-handle spatula with a heatproof handle to easily flip the patties.
