Water Buffalo Ribeye (Frozen) - Approx. 240g
$17.49
Marinate, sear, BBQ, skillet, dry rub, olive oil, butter, spicy... the options are endless with a good ribeye. Water Buffalo is a savoury, slightly sweet meat that gets more tender the longer it is marinated Sizes vary slightly and you may receive a larger size than ordered. We've noted our favourite way to cook it below.
Cooking Directions:
- Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. You can also add minced garlic, rosemary, or thyme for extra flavor, but this is optional.
- If using a grill, preheat it to high heat. If using a skillet or pan, place it over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.Place the ribeye steak on the hot grill or in the hot skillet. Sear one side for 2-3 minutes without moving it. This will give the steak a nice sear and caramelization.
- Flip the steak using tongs and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness: 4-5 minutes for medium, or 6-7 minutes for medium-well.
- To check the doneness, use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak:
- 125°F (51°C) for rare
- 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare
- 145°F (63°C) for medium
- 155°F (68°C) for medium-well
- Remember that the steak's temperature will continue to rise a few degrees after you remove it from the heat (carryover cooking).
- Remove the ribeye steak from the heat source and place it on a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender steak.
- After resting, slice the ribeye steak against the grain (the lines you can see running through the meat) for maximum tenderness. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye steak!
H.O.P.E. Eco-Farms (Aylmer, ON)
HOPE stands for Healthy Organic Produce Enterprises, and represents a brilliant form of cooperative organizing for sustainable growing. Upwards of 30 small scale organic farms in the Aylmer Amish community work together to grow and market their produce under one common brand through one collectively owned and operated warehouse. By working together, the community is able to grow a substantial amount of organic vegetables, even supplying some larger organic distributors. Each winter, they'll collectively decide on what to grow, to ensure that enough variety is grown and that there isn't an over abundance of any one vegetable.The beating heart of any of any produce warehouse is its walk-in cooler. Without refrigeration, the greens and veggies we love quickly spoil. As such, the beating heart of any produce warehouse is its walk-in cooler. HOPE's cooler is a technological marvel for both its sustainability and simplicity. At the centre of the cold room is a 2 story tower of ice made of carefully cut blocks from the purpose - built adjacent pond. One small diesel generator powers the industrial fans that draw the cool air from the ice room and propel it through the various chambers of the cooler, keep HOPEs wonderful kale, peppers and other greens at just the right temperature. By the time October rolls around, there isn't much left of the ice, but that's OK, because winter is just around the corner ready to make some more.
It really is a sight to see, horse-drawn wagon loads of beautiful organic produce fresh from the fields roll into the warehouse, get graded, cooled, and packed onto pallets for distribution out onto all the waiting trucks including ours. When things work well, it's a one stop shop for incredible quality and value organic produce. When things don't work so well, we find ourselves trucking on down the lane to find the growers' farm to get it direct!
