I was never a big fan of steak - probably because I didn't know how to cook it properly.  But since we started raising grass-fed beef - and learning how to cook it - WOW!  Here are our two favorite ways to fix sirloin.  The prep is the same...only the cooking is different.

Bone-in sirloin is a more economical cut than some other steaks, but is still tender enough for grilling, especially when properly prepared and cooked (low and slow!).

Grilled Sirloin


1) Thaw and unwrap steak.

2) Sprinkle lightly with celery salt, pierce with a fork every quarter inch or so. Sprinkle with additional seasoning of your choice (I like basil, cumin, onion powder, and chili powder).

3) Turn steak over and repeat Step 2. Allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes.

4) Grill over low heat (150°), 4-6 minutes on each side or to desired done-ness.


Ken and I are also fans of baked sirloin, which is prepared somewhat like round steak but doesn't need as much baking time as round steak.

Baked Sirloin

1) Thaw and unwrap steak.

2) Sprinkle lightly with celery salt, pierce with a fork every quarter inch or so. Sprinkle with additional seasoning of your choice (I like basil, cumin, onion powder, and chili powder).

3) Turn steak over and repeat Step 2. Allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes.

4) Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of coconut oil (or fat of your choice), add steak and brown (sear) on one side, then turn over and brown (sear) on other side.

5) Transfer to crock-pot and cook on low for about 6 hours. Or put in a baking dish, add about 1/2 inch of water, cover and bake at 250° for about 4 hours.


Enjoy your tender, tasty, grass-fed beef steak!!

When equipment breaks down...

When we make maple syrup, the finished product goes from the evaporator into a stainless steel insulated collection container, then through a filter press into a canning box.  The canning box keeps the syrup at the right temp for bottling (180 degrees) as we dispense it into jars and seal them.  It's a continuous process that can't be shut down instantaneously.  You can't turn off a wood fire (in the evaporator) that's burning at 800 degrees or more.Last week one day, our syrup filter press broke, and we had to make an emergency trip to a nearby small repair shop.  It was a bit stressful trying to slow the fire down enough to interrupt the process for a half hour or so!  But we did it and everything turned out fine.  Whew!  Good thing we have a great team!!Then it happened again a couple days later...this time in the evening - after hours for the repair shop.  Now what?!?!  Fortunately we were able to reach of someone from the repair shop and they accommodated us in our emergency.  Once again...we are so grateful for community/neighbors/people who work together and help each other out in times of need.  (Remember "When the cows escaped"?!)  Farm life 🙂!!Pretty sure it's welded good and tight now!!
