Fall Is Slow Cooking Season
When the temperatures drop, we reach for the cuts that shine in the slow cooker, Dutch oven, or stew pot. These are the ranch family’s fall favorites — the ones that fill the house with good smells and warm you from the inside out.
1. Chuck Roast
The ultimate fall roast. With rich flavor and lots of marbling, a chuck roast becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender when braised or slow-cooked.
2. Brisket
Perfect for braising or smoking, brisket delivers deep, hearty flavor that shines after hours of slow heat.
3. Short Ribs
Meaty and comforting, short ribs are ideal for red wine braises or slow cooker meals. They fall right off the bone when cooked low and slow.
4. Shank (Meaty Soup Bones)
A cut made for stews and soups. The marrow and collagen create a silky broth that feels like true comfort food.
5. Ground Beef
Always versatile, ground beef transforms into cozy fall favorites like chili, shepherd’s pie, or stuffed squash.
Whether it’s a chuck roast in the oven, brisket on the smoker, or a pot of chili bubbling on the stove, fall is the time to slow down and savor the richness of the season.
From our pastures to your table, happy cooking!
