Beginner’s Guide to Cooking Ranch Beef
Getting the most from your high-quality cuts starts with a few simple steps. First, always bring your meat to room temperature before cooking to ensure an even, beautiful result. When it comes to seasoning, we recommend keeping it simple with just salt and pepper. Our beef is so flavorful on its own, it’s all you need to make it shine.
Next, get your pan or grill fully preheated before searing. This creates that perfect crust and locks in the juices. Remember to match the cut to the right method: a quick sear works wonders for tender steaks, while tougher cuts like roasts or brisket are best with a low-and-slow approach.
To check for doneness, use a probe thermometer or the tried-and-true touch test. Once cooked, the most crucial step is to let your meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, giving you juicy, tender, and incredibly flavorful meat every single time. It’s a simple process that honors the quality of the beef.
