Why Choose Our Pasture-Raised Denver Steak?
At Twisted V Ranch, we take pride in raising our cattle with care, ensuring they have access to lush pastures and are grain-finished for optimal flavor. Our Denver Steaks embody the dedication we have to providing you with meat that is not only delicious but also raised sustainably and ethically.
1. Flavor Like No Other
Denver Steaks are known for their rich, beefy flavor. The fine marbling within the muscle ensures a juicy, tender bite that’s bursting with natural beef goodness. When seared properly, the caramelization enhances the savory notes, giving you a steak experience that rivals higher-priced cuts.
2. Ethical and Sustainable Practices
We believe in raising our cattle with respect and care. Our pasture-raised, grain-finished approach means our cattle spend most of their lives grazing in open fields, supplemented with a carefully balanced grain diet towards the end to achieve perfect marbling. This commitment to ethical farming supports regenerative agriculture, promoting soil health and animal welfare.
3. Hormone-Free, Additive-Free
Our Denver Steaks are completely free from hormones and additives. You can trust that you’re feeding your family meat that is wholesome, natural, and raised with integrity. We let nature do its work, resulting in beef that is clean, healthy, and flavorful.
4. Vacuum-Sealed for Freshness
We package our Denver Steaks in vacuum-sealed packaging, ensuring they stay fresh longer in your freezer. This method locks in the steak’s natural juices, flavor, and tenderness, giving you a top-quality steak experience whenever you decide to cook it.
Cooking the Perfect Denver Steak
The Denver Steak is incredibly versatile and can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you prefer grilling, pan-searing, or even sous-vide, this cut delivers consistent, tender results every time.
Grilling Denver Steak
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high heat (450°F to 500°F).
- Season Generously: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or steak seasoning.
- Sear to Perfection: Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. The key is to achieve a beautiful sear while maintaining the tender, juicy interior.
- Rest and Serve: Let the steak rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Pan-Searing Denver Steak
- Heat the Pan: Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Add Oil or Butter: A high-heat oil (like avocado oil) or a knob of butter works wonders.
- Sear Each Side: Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Rest and Enjoy: Allow the steak to rest before slicing against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Sous-Vide for Ultimate Tenderness
- Set Your Sous-Vide Device: Preheat the water bath to 130°F for a perfect medium-rare.
- Vacuum Seal the Steak: Place the Denver Steak in a vacuum-sealed bag with a sprig of rosemary and garlic.
- Cook for 1-2 Hours: The low and slow method ensures every bite is tender.
- Sear for Finish: Quickly sear in a hot skillet for 1 minute per side to develop a beautiful crust.
