Galbi: Korean-Style Short Ribs, Farm-Fresh Flavor

Creamery Creek Over the Top Chili Recipe
This chili is not fancy, but it is deeply satisfying.
Our Over the Top Chili starts with a simple large meatball made from Creamery Creek dry-aged ground beef, 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.
Slow Cooker Meals for Busy Farm Nights

Sweet & Tangy Holiday Meatballs (Farmhouse Appetizer Recipe)
There’s always that one dish that disappears first at every holiday party and these little meatballs are it. Made with our own Creamery Creek Meatball Mix (a blend of dry-aged beef, Duroc pork, and just the right touch of onion), this recipe brings that cozy, sweet-and-smoky flavor everyone loves. A quick toss in sweet fruit jam and BBQ sauce blend, a brush under the broiler, and you’ve got the perfect farmhouse appetizer for the season.

Dry Aged Beef with Himalayan Salt
I love the science of the aging process. Just wanted to share some tidbits I've picked up along the way.

From salt chambers that guide the aging process to a simple finishing sprinkle at the table, it helps beef shine without overpowering it.

Rub Recipes for Big Beef Bones
Big bones deserve big flavor. Beef back ribs, short rib plates, and chuck rib dino bones aren’t your everyday cuts, they’re statement pieces. When you put them on the smoker or grill, you want the kind of flavor that makes people wander over to see what’s cooking. That’s where a good rub comes in.
A rub doesn’t have to be complicated. Think salt, sugar, and spices. Salt builds the foundation, sugar balances and caramelizes, and spices bring the personality. From there, you can keep it simple or turn up the flavor.
