Simply get out a Crock Pot, unpackage your roast, add about 3-4 cups of water, so you can have some good broth, and some salt. Set your crock pot to low and let cook for about 9 hours or more. Every roast that you get from Foothill Frolic Farm can be cooked in this fashion. Our roast do not need any other seasoning to taste good, but of course a roast can be seasoned to any themed liking. A roast is one meal, plus so many more througout the week. One roast can turn into roast beef sandwhiches, or used as sides with prepared vegetables, or mixed into summer salads. A great and simple way for a family or couple to eat well for a few days!
STEAKS
2 Fillets, 2 NYStrips
= 4 Steaks Total, with 2 steaks per package
= 2 packages
= Approximately 1.9 lbs
MARROW/STOCK/NECK BONES
= 1 Package of 2-3 cut bone pieces per Package
= Approximately 2.5 lbs
Our favorite thing to do with Beef Bones, other than making delicious Beef Bone Stock, is adding 2 bones into the Pot of Cooking Beans. This practice makes the best tasting cooked beans every time, no matter what variety of bean, while all at the same time adding powerful healing nutrients to your pot of beans. It is kind of like cooking your beans in Beef Stock. Bones can be taken out of the frozen packaged bag as needed, as it is not a big deal to slightly defrost the bones enough to break a couple loose and then put the opened bag, folded over with a big rubberband, back into the freezer. Bones are not affected by short term freezer burn.
