Sometimes we really have to scratch our heads trying to decipher “what is in a name?”

The story is…that a Pork Butt really comes from the front leg of a pig.  While this seems to make no sense, butchers tell us that the name “pork butt” comes from the wooden barrels, called butts, in which the shoulders of pigs were once packed.  Due to the fact that this term was originally coined in Boston, the proud folks of that town claimed the name as their own.  The butt is cut from the upper half of the leg, while the bottom portion is referred to as the picnic roast (and that is a story for another day).  

Both of these cuts work equally well in most all recipes for pork shoulder.   Now you might be asking yourself, what about the pig’s actual butt? Well folks, that would be the ham.  Hopefully, your confusion has lifted, and now you are knowledgable on all things pork butt. So how about some Pasture Prime Berkshire bargains and some awesome recipes?

We have some simple, hands off recipes for the tenderest pork to ever pass your lips.  These no fuss offerings give you multiple variations to please your palate, make enough for a crowd, or leave you with some great left overs that keep and freeze well.

The basics are; a spice rub, a crockpot, and 6-10 hours to spend on your favorite pastime, (other than time spent in the kitchen cooking).  Possibly, a few holes of golf or a good book.  We will give you all the instructions you need.  Here is the best part, we will even get you the Slow Cooker in our latest giveaway contest.  A beautiful, highly rated, programmable Cuisinart 3.5 Quart SLOW COOKER model with a removable ceramic pot can be yours.

In honor of back-to-school, we’d like to offer a crash course on beef: the various cuts, and how to cook and prepare the different cuts for optimal flavor. At Pasture Prime, we sell humanely raised, 100% grass-fed Wagyu beef directly to you, our customers, and we believe in utilizing all of the cuts of beef available, which means that we offer some cuts you may not be as familiar with.

Customers often ask us how to cook and prepare the various cuts of our Wagyu grass-fed beef, and since we sell our beef online, we figured this blog can serve as a “virtual butcher” – a little chat on the best way to prepare our delicious, completely natural grass-fed beef.

In conjunction with an article from Edible Orlando, here are some helpful tips for navigating the various cuts of beef:

Beef Basics

Here are the basics:

• Beef is muscle
• There are over 70 different cuts with a variety of names
• Naming the cuts generally is based on how the muscle was sectioned
• Cooking methods depend on how much work the muscle did in the daily life of the cow
• The cuts break down, on the simplest level, into two divisions:

Front (chuck) & Back (round) 

• These are the heavily used muscles with lots of connective tissue
• These cook well with Slow/Moist heat, allowing connective tissue to dissolve, which creates a wonderful flavor profile. (Perfect in a Crock Pot!)
• Leaving bones in adds to flavor
• Pasture Prime Grass fed Wagyu cuts from this section would include Chuck Roast and Ultra-Lean Hamburger

Middle Sections (Rib and Loin)

• Cuts from this section are generally more tender and expensive
• These cuts do not involve hard-working muscles
• They have a somewhat milder flavor
• Can be cooked with dry heat including: grilling, roasting, broiling or pan-frying
• Our grass fed Wagyu cuts from this section would include: rib-eye steaks, tenderloin, NY strip steaks, back ribs

Keep checking back for ongoing lessons on grass-fed beef cuts that you can find for sale from our sustainable family farm. We are only filling in as “substitute teachers” for your local butcher, but we are easy graders! Remember, 100% grass-fed beef is brain food. Read all about the health benefits of grass-fed beef.
