Remembering to use your beef

I try to pull out beef (or any frozen meat) on Sunday’s & Thursday’s to cover the weekend & weeknight menus.  Setting a reminder on my phone helps me remember.

Thawing beef

Vacuum seal is great at keeping meat fresh while in the freezer. Remember it’s not perfect. Limit handling and movement of your cuts to prevent your vacuum seal from breaking. Handle the entire package, not just the edge of the package to prevent breaking. We place pointy cuts in plastic grocery bags for an extra layer of protection. For example, we place each brisket in an individual bag.

When thawing your beef, be sure to place it in or on something to catch any leaking that could occur. 

Try to place into the fridge the thaw ~2 days before you need it.

See you at our farm store soon open year-round and open to everyone.
