There’s something special about opening a ranch freezer when it’s full again. We’re excited to share that Carson Valley Meats is officially RESTOCKED with local, ranch-raised beef; every cut you’ve been craving is back, from roasts and ribeyes to specialty cuts like oxtail and short ribs.
But that’s not all. Alongside this restock, we’re proud to release our brand-new Carson Valley Meats’ A Rancher’s Guide to Beef Cuts & Cooking Cookbook, a rancher’s guide to getting the very best out of every cut. It’s our biggest, most ambitious recipe book ever, and we’re excited to share it with you!
Why did we take on this challenge?
Because beef deserves respect, every cut from a humble pot roast to a celebratory filet mignon has its place and its purpose. This book honors the whole animal and the ranching traditions of our valley by teaching you:
- Where each cut comes from
- How best to cook it (temps, tips & pro tricks)
- Full recipes, from brisket to fajitas
- Sidebars like Leftover Magic, Rancher’s Tips, companion dishes and easy make-aheads
Whether you’re slow-braising a roast for Sunday supper, firing up the grill for steaks, or trying something new like oxtail stew, this book is here to guide you.
What’s Inside
The cookbook is divided into four sections:
Roasts: Brisket, rump roast, tri-tip, London broil, and more.
Steaks: T-bone, ribeye, New York strip, filet mignon, picanha — all the classics.
Specialty Cuts: Carne asada, short ribs, oxtail, Korean galbi ribs.
Ranch Side Dishes & Staples: Garlic herb mashed potatoes, homemade tortillas, pinquito beans, chimichurri, salsas, pickled onions, even brisket breakfast hash.
Recipes are paired with sidebars and serving suggestions so you can build whole meals, not just cook a piece of meat.
