Finding Ways To Conserve
New Mexico rancher Bret Riley sorts cattle on his 23,000-acre ranch in Caprock, New Mexico. He manages his grazing to give “intensive rest” to his pastures of diverse grasses.
Sous Vide
When we decided to open a steakhouse, thorough research led us to discover the benefits of sous vide cooking. Pronounced "sue-veed," this method involves placing meat in a vacuum-sealed bag and cooking it at a low temperature over an extended period. This technique effectively tenderizes the meat in its own juices, resulting in enhanced flavor and texture. One cut that truly exemplifies the advantages of sous vide cooking is the Rump Roast. Typically a leaner piece of meat, it can become dry and tough if not cooked properly. However, using sous vide ensures that the Rump Roast comes out tender and cooked to perfection every time. At our steakhouse, we have embraced sous vide cooking for all cuts of meat, as well as for crafting dessert like crème brûlée. This method allows us to deliver consistently high-quality dishes that highlight the natural flavors and textures of the ingredients.
