Beef Stock vs. Beef Broth

Think stock and broth are the same? Think again. While both start with simmering beef, the difference lies in what you simmer, how long you cook it, and the rich results you get. Here's everything you need to know to choose the right one for your kitchen.

The Lowdown on Tenderloin vs. Filet Mignon

Think of the beef tenderloin as the whole muscle and the filet mignon as the "best-dressed" steak cut from it. Because this muscle does very little work, it stays incredibly tender, but it’s also very lean. This means you’re trading the heavy, marbled fat of a ribeye for a mild, buttery texture that you can practically cut with a fork.

If you’re feeding a crowd, buy the whole tenderloin roast and trim it yourself to save money. If you want that iconic, thick-cut steak for a special dinner, go for the filet. Just remember that since there’s no fat to protect the meat, anything past medium is a waste of a good steak. Keep it at medium-rare, use plenty of salt, and let the texture do the talking.

Creamery Creek Over the Top Chili Recipe

This chili is not fancy, but it is deeply satisfying, and different.

Our Over the Top Chili starts with a simple large meatball made from Creamery Creek dry-aged ground chuck, seasoned just enough to let the beef shine. Instead of browning it in a pan, the whole thing goes on the smoker, perched right over the pot of chili. As it cooks, the beef slowly bastes the chili below, dripping smoky, rich flavor straight into the pot.

The Church Method for Perfect Beef Roasts

There is a whole world of cooking that never made it into cookbooks.

It lives in church basements and community halls where somebody’s aunt has been feeding a crowd for decades and never once owned a digital thermometer. The “church basement method” is simple. Multiply the weight of your roast by time, set the oven to a steady low heat, and follow one important rule. Don’t peek.

It works with everyday beef roasts like sirloin tip, chuck, rump, and top round, which means you do not need a prime rib to put something special on the table.
