Kitchen Care and Prep

Here are a few sweet suggestions that we strongly recommend to help with cooking techniques and the quality of your Sweetwood beef:

  • Thaw beef under refrigerated conditions whenever possible.
  • If pressed for time, place steaks in a bowl under cold water for 1 hour.
  • Do not use a microwave to thaw beef as the meat will toughen and partially cook.

 

These are practices we use in our Sweetwood Kitchen Enjoy!

Sweetwood Cooking directions: Relax you have done the most important job, choosing your beef. The meat is absolutely the most important part of the process. We bring a fresh, minimally processed, hand trimmed, and hand wrapped butchers shop quality beef, right to your door.

Here are some Temperatures to help you cook/grill your steak just how you like it:

    Rare » 145 degree

    Medium » 160 degrees

    Medium Well » 165 degrees

    Well » 170 degrees

Resting lets the juices in the steak even out, and allows the steak to relax (its hard work being this good). This extra effort will result in a perfect Sweetwood Steak! After you are done properly defrosting and grilling your Sweetwood Steak, let your steak rest for 5 minutes on a separate plate covered to keep warm. Enjoy!
