Why Choose Grass-Fed Delmonico Steaks?

• 100% Grass-Fed & Finished – Raised on pasture, free from antibiotics & hormones for a naturally rich flavor.
• Perfect Marbling – Ensures a tender, juicy bite with every cut.
• Ideal for High-Heat Cooking – Best for pan-searing, grilling, or broiling.
• Sustainably Raised – Ethically sourced for cleaner, better-tasting beef.

Ingredients

• 2 Ferguson Farms Grass-Fed Delmonico Steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Delmonico Steak

Step 1: Prepare the Steaks

• Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30-40 minutes before cooking to allow even cooking.
• Pat dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect crust when seared.
• Season both sides generously with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Heat the Skillet & Sear the Steak

• Heat a cast-iron skillet or stainless-steel pan over high heat for 3-5 minutes until very hot.
• Add 1 tbsp olive oil, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
• Place the steaks in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving them.
• Flip and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Butter Basting for Extra Juiciness

• Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter, smashed garlic, and fresh rosemary or thyme.
• Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak continuously for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Check for Perfect Doneness

Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature:

• 🔴 Rare: 120°F
• 🟠 Medium-Rare: 130°F
• 🟡 Medium: 140°F
• 🟢 Medium-Well: 150°F

Pro Tip: Grass-fed beef cooks faster than grain-fed beef, so check the temp early!

Step 5: Rest the Steak Before Serving

• Remove steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board.
• Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

• Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
• Drizzle any remaining butter sauce from the pan over the steaks for extra richness.
