Cooking the ultimate grass-fed steak with Jen

See how we make juicy, delicious steaks in our own home. From the freezer to the skillet and onto your plate, Jen walks you through the steps of searing the ultimate steak in the videos below.

Step 1. Plan ahead! You'll want to pull the steaks the day before you cook them and thaw them in the refrigerator. Set them in a glass dish or plate to avoid any possible mess as they thaw.

Step 2. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 minutes or so before you cook them to bring them closer to room temperature before you cook them.

Step 3. Season with salt and pepper. You can use a steak seasoning if you like, but we are keeping it simple and letting the natural steak flavor come through in this demonstration.

Step 4. Drizzle oil or butter into an iron skillet and bring to medium/high heat.

Step 5. Set the steaks into the pan and listen to them sizzle!

Step 6. Set for 3-5 minutes (until a nice crust appears) then flip the steak.

Step 7. Sizzle, again! Make sure all parts of the steak have nice contact with the skillet for a nice, even sear.

Step 8. Check how done the steak is by gently pressing on the middle of the steak. The softer it is to the touch, the more rare the steak is. The more firm it is, the more well done it is. A steak is considered medium at 145 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to verify internal temperature.

Step 9. Turn the burner off just before the steak is done and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before serving.

Step 10. Slice against the grain, and voila! You're set. Enjoy! :)

Where to Find Riemer Family Farm Eggs!

Just look for the PINK carton at a grocery store near you! The egg business has been crazy lately to say the least! It seems like every third news story is about the price of eggs and shortages and even thievery of eggs! Who knew there could be so much drama around the humble chicken egg? We partner with a young farm family to produce our seasonally pastured eggs. These hens have a pretty posh life, non-GMO feed, plenty of space, never any cages and are out and about during the growing season. The bird flu outbreak is just another bit of evidence that the industrial food system is very broken! One of the solutions is MORE farmers on the land raising livestock at a family scale and not more concentrated factory agriculture in the U.S. Barns of tens and even hundreds of thousands of chickens are the ones primarily affected by the bird flu for all the obvious reasons! When 150,000 or more birds are together in a barn when one or a few get infected it's a matter of hours before the whole flock is infected and all must be destroyed. Family farms came through for customers during Covid and are proving to be resilient during this current egg problem too! While we are still learning and don't claim to be perfect, we are more sustainable and adaptable than the factory model of farming. Thank you for standing by our farm and other regenerative farms in your area! If you would like to purchase (or dine on) our eggs you can find them at many stores and restaurants! Including: South Central WI: Brodhead Piggly Wiggly Gempeler's Market-Monticello Roy's Market-New Glarus Evansville Piggly Wiggly Oregon Hy-Vee Fitchburg Hy-Vee Cadre restaurant (and others through a distributor) Sunrise Cafe-Monroe N. Illinois: Bull Valley General Store Daily Project Cafe-Algonquin Duck A Diet, Ready to Eat Meals-Huntly Forest Green's Juice Bar-Lake Bluff Just look for the PINK carton. With all the egg shortages from the industrial farms and spiking prices from a fragile industry, our eggs are quite affordable. We will never price gouge. We seek to provide a fair price for both our customers and us. As always you can pick up your eggs on the farm. Please place an order on our website and we will have them ready for you within a day. Make sure that you have Riemer Family Farm as your pickup location.
