Cooking Basics
Tenderloin Steak - also known as filet mignon, this comes from an underworked, and therefore tender muscle. An expensive cut, but don't worry - it's actually one of the easier things to cook. Best to salt lightly to bring out the flavor, sear and use the gentle heat of an oven to cook to a medium rare. Check out Perfect Tenderloin Steak or How to Cook a Perfect Filet Mignon.

The year was 1733 when the King of England gave the land grant that became Glenmary Farm. That makes Glenmary one of Virginia’s oldest farms -- and America’s, too. Tom Nixon and his wife Kimberly Horn are fifth-generation farmers and Virginians, and they knew as soon as they stepped foot on the rolling, forested hills just east of the Blue Ridge, that they wanted to keep the tradition going.
Award-winning farmer Harris is a legitimate star, not just in his native Georgia, but around the world, where his iconic work in conservancy is continually celebrated. Troubled by the shortcuts and conventional, chemical-driven direction he was seeing within his industry, Harris radically transformed his 150-year-old farm 20 years ago by taking it back to the basics. Today, White Oak Pastures stands as a leader of zero-waste, regenerative, symbiotic farming.
Keep up the good work fellas because you have ruined me forever now for buying the best beef I've eaten in two decades. I won't ever buy in the grocery store again.
