Uncle Mike raises his beef just to the North of the Fort Collins Farm Store. He pastures his cows year round where they graze grass and in the winter months supplements their diet with alfalfa, hay and brewer's grains. Occasionally these cows are given flaked corn to help keep the energy levels up. Mike's herd is small, which allows for each cow to be given extraordinary amounts of attention and care. This extra effort shows up in the flavor and quality of the meat!
Also known as Flanken Style Short Ribs, these are great marinated and grilled. They have a nice fat content and incorporate bits of skirt steak which is great seared over high heat. Because they are cut thinner than a traditional short rib, these make for a great grilling options this summer!
