This recipe is for the Coulotte Steak but can easily be substituted with any of the steaks above that we have on special (and even the Pork Porterhouse!).

Total Recipe Time:  25 to 30 minutes | Makes 4 servings| Recipe courtesy of Beef Checkoff
Cook’s Tip: Three cups sliced button mushrooms can be substituted for assorted wild mushrooms.Ingredients
1 to 1-1/4 pounds beef Coulotte Steaks, cut 1 inch thick
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cups assorted wild mushrooms (such as cremini, oyster, shiitake, enoki and morel)
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and pepper

Directions
  1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add mushrooms and 1 clove minced garlic; cook and stir 2 to 4 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and browned. Remove; keep warm.
  2. Combine thyme and remaining garlic; press evenly onto beef steaks. Place steaks in same skillet over medium heat; cook 8 to 11 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Remove to platter.
  3. Carve steaks into slices. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Top with mushrooms.

Tips for using the grill

By | Angus Meats, Grilling, Ground beef, How to | No Comments
Tips for the grill
  • Before you get started, dust your grill grates with oil or cooking spray to keep food from sticking. Be sure to let the grates come to temperature before you begin cooking.
  • Bring ingredients to room temperature before you cook; they will then cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Remember the 4-by-4 rule to determine how hot your grill is: If you can keep your palm 4 inches over the coals for 4 seconds, it’s at medium heat.
  • For even browning of meat and poultry, pat the surface with a paper towel to remove moisture before grilling.
  • If your steaks curl on the grill, score the outer layer of fat at 1-inch intervals.
  • Refrain from pressing hamburger patties on the grill with a spatula or piercing meat with a fork; you’ll lose the juices. Use a spatula or tongs.
  • If you prefer skinless chicken, be sure to marinate the meat first; then baste frequently with leftover marinade during grilling.
  • Use fresh lemon juice in your marinades. It tenderizes meat, blends well with many flavors (from soy sauce and ginger to BBQ sauce), and accents other tastes.
  • Let meat rest at least 5 (if not 10) minutes before slicing them. The meat will absorb and redistribute the juices.

Curry’s Culinary Corner: Steak for Dad!

By | Angus Meats, Buy local, Grilling, Holidays | No Comments

In last month’s Culinary Corner you learned that I have a mother. Well, guess what, fans? I have a father also. And since the dawn of time dads have been asked, “What do you want for dinner on Fathers Day?” And I’m guessing the number one answer to that is, “Steak! A nice big juicy tender steak.”  Now, how do we get that juicy tender steak for Dad?

Here are some things to consider:

  • First is the grade of the meat.  Choice or Prime?  Spoil Dad and go Prime all the way!
  • Second, marbling.  Marbling is the white fat in the meat.  Fat is where the flavor is – so the more fat, the more flavor.
  • Third is the cut.  Steaks from the loin and the rib will be very tender and juicy.

So now that we have the steaks pick out, how do we cook it to perfection?

Get your grill on! Need I say more?

Heat grill to medium high. Lightly oil the grates and let them heat up.  Now it’s time to get your grind on. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Yes, salt and pepper…kosher or sea salt as well as black pepper. Fresh ground salt and pepper are a must in this case.  Finally, place steaks on grill and let cook about 3 minutes per side (for rare).

Grill temperatures vary, but in general, a 1-inch thick steak will take about 3 minutes per side for rare (140 degrees). Add about 1 minute per side per half inch of steak and another minute per side for desired doneness (rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, and well).

Happy Fathers Day, Dad!

A welcome addition for spring

By | Buy local, Events, Family, Holidays | No Comments

Ahhh….the lovely warmer month of May. The city is in color with the Dogwoods, Magnolias, and Lilacs blooming gloriously just in time for the Lilac Parade, and little perennial sprouts are poking through the dirt reaching toward the sun. Isn’t it nice to be outside?

May is a busy time; cleaning up the yard and flower beds from winter’s kill, planting, hosing out the garage, washing windows. Some of us have proms, graduations and marriage ceremonies. However, the real event in May for me, especially this year, is Mother’s Day.

Why is this year so special you ask?

Because our family is thrilled to welcome its newest member, 7-week old Wilhelmina. Happy First Mother’s Day to our youngest daughter, Callie. Welcome to the Club!

From our family at Angus Brands to yours,  we wish all the mother’s out there a wonderful day. And we’ll cross our fingers for sun!

Curry’s Culinary Corner: To ham or not to ham?

By | Angus Meats, Buy local, News | No Comments

So why is Easter associated with ham in the first place? History tells us salted pork lasted through the winter and was ready to eat in spring before other fresh meats were available.   But perhaps you prefer lamb, another favorite Easter meal. Lamb is traditional because Jesus’ last supper was the Passover meal, and if Jesus ate meat during that meal, it would have been lamb.

So again I say unto you ham or not to ham? What’s your preference?

P.S. Don’t forget to add hot crossed buns to your Easter meal – a must this time of year! 🙂
