ESTANCIA BEEF – GRASS-FED RIBEYE ROAST
Recipe Courtesy of Estancia Beef
Ingredients: 1 Estancia Boneless Ribeye Roast (approx. 8.5 lbs.) 1 Cup Dijon Mustard ½ Cup Crushed Black Pepper 2 Cups Rock Salt Instructions: Rub boneless Estancia rib eye roast all over with Dijon mustard, coat with crushed black peppercorns and rock salt. Place on rack and put in a 200' oven and slow roast until an instant read thermometer registers 5 to 10 degrees below desired temperature. Then turn oven up to 500' degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Let roast rest 15 to 20 minutes, scrape salt crust off rib before carving. Medium rare is 135' to 140' so you would want to turn up the oven at about 125' to 130' for the final high temp roasting. Notes: The slow roasting allows a nice even coloration through the roast with minimal shrinkage. Medium rare produces best eating results with grass-fed beef. Using a thermometer takes out the guess work on when the roast is done. To learn more about the benefits and quality of Estancia Grass-fed Beef visit our website at www.estanciabeef.com. Enjoy your Estancia Roast!

Coffee and Spice Crusted Grilled Prime Rib Eye
Recipe Courtesy of Chef Dustin Valette of Dry Creek Kitchen
Whenever I think of summer I immediately think of grilled steaks, warm salads and tomatoes.  This recipe includes one of my all time favorite steak rubs, coffee & spice!  The pairing of coffee might seem unusual, though once you taste the sweet flavor of the caramelized brown sugar contrasted by the spice of the chili powder you’ll understand my choice.  With the addition of the ground espresso you will have a familiar, yet impossible to pick out flavor that you will fall in love with. You’ll surprise your friends with the addition of your favorite morning time brew incorporated with your backyard grilling.  Enjoy the recipe below anytime of the year; although summer is when these ingredients will be at their peak.  Some of the ingredients might not be available in your market. If that is the case just substitute with the best produce you can find.  The rib-eye can be substituted with a different cut of meat if so desired. Chef Dustin Valette; Dry Creek Kitchen Coffee and Spice Crusted Grilled Prime Rib Eye Yield: 4-6 portions Ingredients4-6 each  Thick cut Prime Rib Eye Steaks, around 8 ounces each.  (you want to have a very well marbled steak, it’s ...
