𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗢𝗦

Recipe by: Tina Cook with What's Cook'n with the Cook's?

𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:

1 lb ground beef
1 taco seasoning packet
½ tablespoon avocado oil or beef tallow
5 6” tortilla shells

Optional Toppings:
cheddar cheese, shredded or sliced
onion, diced
lettuce, chopped
tomato, chopped
sour cream
fresh cilantro, chopped

𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗:

In a medium bowl mix the ground beef with the taco seasoning. Using your hands, measure out 5 even portions of the meat mixture.

Press a portion of the meat mixture onto a tortilla shell making sure to cover the entire tortilla. Using your fingertips indent the center of the meat patty. This will prevent the meat from shrinking too much while it cooks.

Drizzle avocado or tallow in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the burger and tortilla burger side down on the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the burger crisps up on the edges. Flip the burgers over and immediately top with cheese and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the smashed burgers from the skillet and top with onion, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and fresh cilantro.

Serve warm.

𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜
1 large cauliflower head
¾ cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon butter

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙪𝙘𝙚
1 tablespoon avocado oil

𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜

In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cover with a lid to allow cauliflower to steam. Cauliflower is done when pierced with a fork and cauliflower is soft. About 10 minutes.

Remove cauliflower from the pot into a high-powered blender. Add parmesan cheese and butter and blend until smooth. Set aside.

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙪𝙘𝙚

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the beef burger, salt and pepper and cook until brown. When done, remove the beef burger into a bowl from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Add the butter to the pan. Add onions, carrots and celery and sauté for 2 minutes. Add frozen peas, rosemary and thyme. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and bay leaves. Stir to combine. Turn heat up to medium-high and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the beef burger. Simmer mixture for 5 minutes – until sauce has thickened.

In a 9x13 casserole dish add the meat mixture. Spread the cauliflower mixture over the meat sauce and bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.

Turn oven to a low broil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the topping has turned golden brown.

Remove the Shepards Pie from the oven and rest for 20 minutes before serving warm.

At Rocking R Cattle Company, we want every steak to taste as incredible as the day it was cut. Freezing is a great way to preserve your beef, if you do it right. Here’s how to keep that ranch-fresh flavor locked in:

𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄
For peak flavor and tenderness, enjoy frozen steaks within 4–6 months.

𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆
According to the USDA, beef frozen at 0°F or lower remains safe to eat indefinitely, though quality will slowly decline after about 12 months.

𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
• Vacuum-sealed beef stays high quality for up to 12 months
• Butcher-wrapped beef can develop freezer burn in just a few months

𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸
Keep your freezer at a steady 0°F or below for best results.

𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿
-Freeze steaks at peak freshness
-Use airtight, heavy-duty packaging to prevent freezer burn
-Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight, never at room temperature

Take care of your beef, and it’ll take care of dinner.

Pot Roast Grilled Cheese
What's Cook'n with the Cook's?

Ingredients:

-2 slices of artisan sourdough bread
-2 tablespoons of butter
-½ cup cooked and shredded beef pot roast (at room temperature)
-2 slices of cheese (that melts well like pepper jack or gouda)

Method:

Heat the Griddle: Place the griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Lay a slice of bread on the griddle – moving it around to soak up all the butter.

Layer the bread: stack 1 slice of cheese, beef, another slice of cheese and then another slice of bread. While the sandwich is grilling, butter the top slice of bread with the other tablespoon of butter.

Grill to Perfection: Once the cheese is beginning to melt and the bread turns golden brown, flip the sandwich carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown and all the cheese has begun to melt. Gently remove the sandwich from the griddle and let rest one minute before slicing in half.

Serve warm.

Rocking R Premium Ground Beef = Dinner Made Easy

Whether it’s burgers, tacos, or spaghetti, Rocking R Premium Ground Beef makes mealtime simple — but how you thaw it matters.

Avoid leaving beef on the counter or using hot water. That puts your meat in the “danger zone” where bacteria grow fast.

Best ways to thaw beef:

Refrigerator (Best choice) – Safest, hands-off, and keeps your beef fresh and juicy.
Cold water (Quick option) – Change water every 30 minutes and cook right away.
Microwave, running water & room temp – Can partially cook meat, waste water, or create food-safety risks.

Bottom line: Plan ahead and thaw in the fridge for the safest, best-tasting Rocking R beef or use cold water when you’re in a hurry.

Because at Rocking R Cattle, your family’s meals should be safe, simple, and seriously delicious.

2026 Calving season started early with this tiny heifer. Born premature and only 72 hours old, she is independently nursing and thriving. Her mom, Rose, is a senior team member and we do wonder if she checked the weather forecast and decided to get things moving forward. Calving early means room service 3 times a day , daily housekeeping and turn down service. Good job, Rose!
