The Swiss Steak is cut from the arm. It's also known as a Rancher's Steak. It's perfect for a quick steak or for braising, or cooking with the "Swiss Steak Method". The term "Swiss" has nothing to do with the country. Instead it refers to the method of tenderizing the meat.
Swiss steak is super easy to cook. According to Half-Scratched, Reynolds Wrap Aluminum made the recipe popular in the 1940s by promoting the use of its aluminum to line the roasting pan.
We carefully tend to and raise our animals only on the nutrient rich green grasses and crystal clear waters of our high mountain ranches outside Chama, NM. Nothing more, nothing less.
Our meats are the best you’ve ever tasted because we control the entire supply chain. Our yaks are bred, born and raised on our ranches while Robert purchases all our cattle from our neighbors or from local auction houses. In the summers the animals enjoy the high mountain energy dense grasses and snow-fed spring waters on our Wolf Creek Ranch. In the winters we move the yaks and cattle to our lower elevation farm 20 miles from the ranch where they eat Timothy hay that was grown either on our farm or neighboring farms. Our processing is done either in Chama by a craft butcher or by another craft butcher in Colorado. Also, our team members all have historic ranching roots in the Chama Valley, giving them a deep knowledge of animal husbandry and regenerative grazing practices of the region.
