Instructions:

Prepare Beef

1. Take beef out of the fridge 2 – 3 hours before cooking to bring to room temp (key tip for even cooking). Pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Preheat the oven to 240°C/460°F (220°C fan). Adjust the shelf so beef will be sitting in the middle of the oven.
3. Garlic Herb Butter: Mix together.
4. Roasting bed: Place onion, garlic and herbs in a heavy based ovenproof skillet (or use a roasting pan).
5. Spread a thin layer of butter on the underside of the beef (ie the bone side).
6. Place beef on onion etc, butter side down. Spread about 2/3 of the butter on the top and sides (reserve some for Slather 2).
7. Roast for 20 minutes.
8. Remove, spread over remaining butter. Turn the oven down to 120°C/250°F (100°C fan).
9. Slow roast for a further 1 1/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the juices in the pan, until the internal temperature is 50°C/122°F in the center (temperatures will vary for prefered cook)
   
10. Start checking the internal temp early.
11. Transfer beef to plate. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 20 – 30 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 54°C/129°F (which is medium rare).

Red Wine Sauce

1. Place a skillet with onion and garlic left in it on the stove over high heat.
2. Add wine and beef stock, rapidly simmer for 10 minutes until it reduces by 2/3 or so, down to 1 1/2 cups or liquid.
3. Lower heat to medium. Mix cornflour with 2 tbsp water. Drizzle in half and stir. Sauce will thicken in 1 minute or so. Add more corn flour water mixture if you want it thicker.
4. Strain into bowl, pour into sauce jug

Braveheart's Cowboy Ribeye Steak is an extra-thick ribeye with a French-trimmed bone for a stunning presentation. This mouthwatering cut is exceptionally tender and juicy. This recipe tops the tenderness and flavor scales with an impressive look. Best of all, it’s versatile and easy to prepare in the oven as well as on the grill or stove-top. This recipe pairs well with a carb such as baked or mashed potatoes and rice, vegetables such as broccoli or green beans, and sauces like garlic butter or a steak sauce.

Ingredients:

• 2 Braveheart cowboy steaks, 1½-2½ inches thick (18-36 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons oil, canola oil or refined olive oil, divided
• 2-3 teaspoons coarse salt, or kosher salt
• 2-3 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional

Instructions:

1. Remove the cowboy steaks from the refrigerator 1-2 hours so they can approach room temperature for even cooking.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
3. Place a cast iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes to get very hot while you get the steaks ready.
4. Pat dry the steaks with paper towels to remove excess moisture that could interfere with searing.
5. Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of oil on all sides. Then season with salt and pepper.
6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the hot pan and using swirl to coat. Note: the pan handle will be hot, so use oven mitts to avoid burns.
7. Using kitchen tongs, carefully place the seasoned cowboy steak into the pan. Sear for 1 minute. Flip and sear the other side for 1 minute more.
8. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 10-15 minutes more or until desired doneness is reached. Halfway through, add the butter and spoon the pan juices on top of the meat to baste.
9. Check doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the middle of a steak: 120°F is rare, 125°F is medium-rare, 130°F is medium and 135°F is medium-well.
10. Remove the steaks from the oven to a carving board or serving platter. Cover with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes so the juices can redistribute throughout the meat.
11. Cut along the bone to separate the meat from the bone. Then slice crosswise against the grain to serve.

Nothing says holiday dinner like a show-stopping roast. This combination of sear-roasted beef tenderloin with a deeply flavored red wine sauce is not only elegant, but it’s also simple to make. The sauce can be made mostly in advance so there’s very little fussing at the last minute – and Braveheart's center-cut tenderloin, believe it or not, is one of the easiest and delicious things in the world to cook.

Ingredients:

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• ¾ cup finely chopped shallots, from 2-3 large shallots
• 1¼ cups red wine
• 3 cups beef broth
• 6 fresh thyme sprigs
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 Bravehearts center-cut beef tenderloin filet
• Kosher salt (½ teaspoon per pound of beef)
• Freshly ground black pepper (¼ teaspoon per pound of beef)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ¼ cup beef broth

Instructions

For the Sauce

1. Melt 5 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan.
2. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes.
3. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
4. While the liquid is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and soften in the microwave, if necessary (it should be soft but not melted).
5. Add the flour and, using a small spoon, mix into a smooth paste.
6. Once the wine mixture is reduced, reduce the heat to low and remove the thyme sprigs.
7. Whisk the flour-butter paste, a teaspoonful at a time, into the simmering liquid, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is thickened.
8. Set aside. (The sauce can be made up to this point and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead of time.)

For the Tenderloin

1. Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Season the beef all over with kosher salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking.

3. Cook, turning with tongs, until well browned on all but one side, about 10 minutes total. Turn the tenderloin so that the un-seared side is down, and transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. (If your pan isn't oven-proof, transfer the beef to a lightly oiled roasting pan.)

4. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 120°F-125° for medium rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking (115°F-120°F for rare, 130°F-135°F for medium). Keep in mind that these temperatures account for the fact that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees while the meat rests.

5. Transfer the meat to a carving board (preferably with a well for collecting juices) and let it rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place a dish towel or oven mitt over the handle of the roasting pan to remind yourself that it's hot.

6. Meanwhile, carefully discard the fat from the roasting pan (remember that the handle is hot!). Set the pan on the stovetop and add the ¼ cup of beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape the fond, or brown bits, from the bottom of the pan. Add the flavorful broth to the red wine sauce, and then bring the sauce to a simmer.

7. Carve the tenderloin into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Serve the beef, passing the red wine sauce at the table.

With so many options available for steaks, it makes sense that some people would be paralyzed by all of the choices.

Every series of choices needs a baseline, and for steaks, that would be the porterhouse.

People associate a lot of things with Texas. One of those things is steaks, and for good reason. When it comes to quality beef, it’s nearly impossible to beat the Longhorn State. The freshness of grass fed steak in Texas is a reflection of the quality of the farms they come from, and no respectful online steak delivery service would ever obtain beef from a less than respectful farm.

Ordering steak online in Texas is guaranteed to give you the best product from the best place to get it. Beef is always frozen in vacuum sealed packaging to ensure the utmost freshness upon delivery. Instead of having to rely on local stores to have precisely what you need, simply order exactly what you want online and wait for it to be delivered directly to you.

In recent years, ordering dinner ingredients from the internet has grown in popularity as people become more comfortable with cooking for themselves and receiving exactly what they want in a timely manner. The way you buy your beef cuts should be no different. 

When you order steak online in Texas, you’re opening yourself up to possibilities that many others do not have. Some of the best Texas beef delivery services don’t have the capacity to ship across the country, and have to take orders solely in Texas. That gives Texas residents access to exclusive vendors with products that the rest of the country doesn’t have the option to purchase. The fact that these meats are also of incredible quality only adds to their unique value.

For hundreds of years, people have been innovating the way food is prepared, and this innovation is one of the cornerstones of the culinary experience. When you’re shopping for a steak online, you’ll probably see the terms “dry-aged” and “wet-aged” thrown around here and there. Before you dive into buying anything, it would help to know what the difference is between them.

Dry-aging is a traditional process where meat is left in the open air at almost freezing temperatures for several weeks. This process allows for natural enzymes to tenderize the meat, overhauling both the texture and flavor, and producing the most tender meat possible. The result of this process is meat with a distinct and bold flavor.

Wet-aging, on the other hand, is a relatively new method of aging meat, as it is only about 60 years old. Modern innovations have allowed wet-aging to become a far more common process. First, the meat is cut and portioned, then it is stored in vacuum sealed bags at a close to freezing temperature. This takes about 10 days, where the same natural enzymes that work in dry-aging do their job here. The meat that gets wet-aged is tender, but not as tender as dry-aged meat.

Both processes have their benefits and drawbacks. Dry-aging produces a more tender cut of meat, along with a stronger flavor. However, the process ruins parts of the meat, which have to be cut off and taken away from the amount of meat you get. Additionally, the flavor of dry-aged meat can be described as “earthy” or “bitter”, which may not be your preferred flavor when eating a steak. 

Wet-aged meat, for its part, is more moist than dry-aged meat, and the process allows for the flavor to evenly distribute throughout the meat. Plus, this flavor does not have any of the acidic traits that dry-aged meat has. While not as tender as dry-aged meat, the process also does not ruin any parts of the meat, so there is no need to cut any of it away before being packaged. This results in wet-aged meat being less expensive than its counterpart.

While it ultimately comes down to preference, and while there are clear benefits and drawbacks to both, to get the most quality out of the money you spend, wet-aged steak will probably be your best bet. Braveheart’s meat is all wet-aged to ensure this level of quality is available for you. From our New York strips to our sirloin steaks, Braveheart has the best meat for you.

Ordering things online has become a staple of modern living, and the convenience it offers cannot be overstated. People value their time, and time saving methods like online shopping are priceless to many. When it comes to food, the situation is no different. People don’t want to have to spend their valuable time hunting for the best foods in their local grocery store, and many have taken to shopping online for their dinner products.

However, this comes with the same hang-up that most online shopping ventures have. How do you know what you’re getting is good if you can’t see it before you buy? It’s a scary thought, ordering something without knowing its quality. Luckily, when it comes to ordering steaks online, the situation is actually reversed. 

On average, a person is likely to receive more information about their steak online than they would have if they’d bought it in person. Things like how the meat was fed and different ways to cook it are readily available when someone is searching for steaks from most online steak vendors, and Braveheart is no different. We give you as much information as you could reasonably want when it comes to our products.
