Do you ever wonder where your food comes from?

If you buy your steak in the grocery store, who knows?

If you buy from Ranchline All Natural, your Angus Beef comes from Mission Ranch.

Cattle raised the way nature intended. Ranchline All Natural is proud of our product and proud to show you where it all begins. You won’t get that in the grocery store!

Nothing is more “movie-esk” than a family style country dinner.  We invited my cousin over and I spent my girls’ Sunday afternoon nap time in the kitchen.  On the menu was steak with a blue cheese cream sauce, crash hot potatoes, pan fried spinach, and rustic apple tart.  All courtesy of my Pioneer Woman Cookbook.

Crash Hot Potatoes.  They look so neat with the mixed colors.

Rustic Apple Tart.  My husband loves apple desserts.  I drizzled this with a caramel glaze.

Kitchen prep.  The blue cheese cream sauce for the steak and the pan fried spinach.

Ranchline All Natural steak – wonderfully tender and flavorful steaks.  Ranchline’s beef is grass-fed on Montana’s open range and you can taste the difference.  Plus, it’s much healthier than the meat at your local store.

I know that pan fried spinach doesn’t sound great, but really….I was surprised.  I even had seconds.

Steak with Blue Cheese Cream Sauce

4 Ranchline rib-eye, sirloin, or filet steaks (about 5 oz each)

salt and pepper to taste

1 stick of butter softened (8 tablespoons, divided)

1 large yellow onion, peeled and sliced *not diced*

1 cup heavy cream (don’t be scared….do not substitute milk)

4 tsp Worcestershire sauce

3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

1. Preheat your grill to high heat.

2. Season each steak with salt and pepper and slather with 1/2 stick of butter.  Not 1/2 stick on each steak…..1/2 stick slathered over all 4 steaks.

3. Grill the steaks to medium rare.  3-4 minutes on each side.  Remove from heat and keep warm. (you can also sauté them in a skillet over medium high heat)

4. Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Sauté the onions until golden brown.  Takes about 7-8 minutes.

5. Pour in the cream and add a dash of salt and pepper.  Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and let the sauce bubble a bit.

6. Stir in the blue cheese and stir it together to melt.  Add more salt and pepper to taste.

7.  Place steaks on a plate and spoon sauce and onions over top.

8.  Enjoy!  Try to use your best manners and not slurp or drool while eating.  It is THAT good.

Ranchline All Natural’s tender, grass-fed lamb and Mission Ranch Angus beef come from free-ranging livestock humanely raised on the pastoral foothills of the Felix River and verdant fields of Mission Ranch. Filled with iron and free of growth hormones and additives, the naturally lean cuts in each meat package can crumble into tacos, form juicy patties, sizzle on the grill, or relieve black eyes earned while fighting over the last tri-tip. Expertly cut and packaged proteins are shipped via two- or three-day service to ensure safe, sanitary transport without the need for preservatives or having to buy each steak a bus ticket.

During our 14 Days of Valentine, Vicki Powell of Federal Way, WA answered the following challenge correctly:

• Name the song title and artist. ”I wanna know what love is. I want you to show me. I wanna feel what love is. I know you can show me.”
• Answer:  ”I Wanna Know What Love Is” by Foreigner  (That was an easy one!)

Her prize?  A delicious package of Ranchline Southwest Rub, of course!  A friend had recently given the Powell family venison, making her meat selection an easy decision.

Vicki shared her fantastic meal with us.  Don’t wait too long to try it yourself!  She writes:

“Elk roast, rubbed with the Southwest Rub, seared then roasted in red wine and topped with bacon… served with onion and chive mashed potatoes and spinach.  Oh my, it was so good!!!”

Thanks for sharing Vicki – so glad you loved our rub!

No, this is not a plug for the next Twilight movie.  But February 14th is just around the corner.  If you’re like me, you’re frantically trying to think of a unique and memorable gift for your special someone.  I’ve decided to mix it up this time around and surprise my Valentine with delicious all natural steaks.  He loves to grill and it’s something we can share together.  (I’m not complaining that I will benefit from this purchase as well!)

I often find it difficult to fit scouring the mall for that perfect gift into my schedule.  And, to be honest, I just don’t like the mall.   This year I’m saving myself the headache as Ranchline conveniently delivers right to my doorstep, hassle free.   He’s gonna love it, I’m gonna love it, and I’m thinking it truly will be “Love at first bite”.  I’ve heard nothing but great things about Ranchline meats.  I’ll let you know.

I’m going for the steaks, but their Double the Love gift certificate offer is a pretty sweet deal as well.  Here’s the scoop:  Now through February 14th, purchase one Ranchline All Natural gift card up to $50 in value and receive a second card of the same value FREE.  A gift for your Valentine and a gift for you.  That’s a win-win in my book.
