It’s November, and if the mercury is dropping in your part of the country, you may be in the mood for a cozy, hearty meal that you can make ahead for you and your family. We love easy meals and recipes that allow us to throw some ingredients together in the morning and enjoy a tasty meal later that night. There are many cuts that work well in slow-cooking – one of our favorites is beef brisket.
Our grass-fed beef brisket, from our Wagyu cattle, here on our sustainable Pasture Prime family ranch, makes for a great main ingredient in the below two beef brisket recipes. These two recipes are super simple, especially yummy, and make great use of our beef brisket! This comes as a real treat during the time of year when you are getting together with friends and family.
As with all of the beef from our family’s farm, here in Summerfield, Florida, the beef brisket comes from 100% grass-fed Wagyu cattle that are never given growth-hormones, sent to a feedlot, or given antibiotics. Read more about the health benefits of 100% grass-fed beef.
