Delicious Highland Beef Recipes

HHF Pot Roast

Ingredients

  • HHF roast of your choice. We prefer chuck, arm, or rump roast, although a rump orast will take longer to cook
  • Beef broth (or water is fine)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Any other seasonings you may like, but we keep it simple

Cooking Instructions

  1. Use a crockpot or roaster if possible, if not a covered dish in the oven will work.
  2. Season roast, and place in chosen cooking device.
  3. Add 1 cup of beef broth or water.
  4. If in a crockpot, turn to high heat. If in a roaster or in the over, set the temperature to 275 degrees.
  5. Cooking grass-fed Highland beef will take longer than conventional beef. Do not concern yourself with meat temperature. Instead, use a fork to test the meat. When the roast falls apart easily, it is done.

Chef's Note: You can cook the roast straight from the freezer or thawed. If frozen, it will take longer. Expect a thawed roast to take around 8 hours, and a frozen roast to take 10+.

Smokey HHF Brisket

Ingredients

  • 1 whole HHF brisket
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or substitute 1/4 yellow mustard
  • Dry rub of choice. We prefer a blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder

Cooking Instructions 

  1. Take brisket and generously coat with mayo or mustard. This will act as a binder when cooking is complete.
  2. Cover the entire brisket with a coating or your rub.
  3. Preheat your smoker to 185 degrees and put brisket on fat side up.
  4. After 4 hours, flip the brisket over.
  5. Cook an additional 2 hours.
  6. Remove the brisket from the smoker and wrap in butcher paper or aluminum foil.
  7. Increase smoker temperature to 225-250 degrees and return wrapped brisket into smoker.
  8. Cook until internal temperature of meat reaches 205 degrees.
  9. Remove from smoker, place in a cooler and cover with towels. This allows the meat to continue cooking itself and liquify fat and connective tissue without losing moisture.
  10. Leave in cooler for at least 2 hours.
  11. Remove and place brisket on a cutting board.
  12. Let brisket rest fo 5-10 minutes.
  13. Slice and enjoy!

Chef's Note: Highland brisket is very lean so there is no need to trim any fat prior to cooking. Keep a close eye on is there is not much room for error. If it seems to be cooking too fast then skip to turning and wrapping sooner.
