A Wilders Take on Classic Irish Comfort Food
St. Patrick’s Day is all about gathering around the table for a hearty meal. While traditional Irish dishes often feature corned beef and cabbage, the real spirit of the holiday is simple: good food shared with good company.
This year, give those comfort-style meals a Wilders twist using 100% Fullblood Wagyu beef and Berkshire pork raised right here in Eastern North Carolina.
From skillet meals to steakhouse-style dinners, these St. Patrick’s Day meal ideas showcase a few of our favorite products — and if you want to keep things easy, our limited-time Shamrock Grill Pack has everything you need for a quick cookout.
Wagyu Shepherd’s Pie
A classic Irish comfort dish gets a serious upgrade when it’s made with Wilders Wagyu Ground Beef.
Because of the natural marbling in Wagyu beef, the filling stays rich and tender while it cooks, giving shepherd’s pie deeper flavor than traditional ground beef.
To make it, start by browning Wilders Wagyu Ground Beef with diced onion, garlic, carrots, and peas. Add a splash of beef broth and season with thyme, salt, and black pepper. Once the mixture thickens, spread it into a baking dish and top with creamy mashed potatoes.
Bake until the top is golden and bubbling.
It’s a simple, hearty dish that feels right at home on a St. Patrick’s Day table.
Berkshire Pork Sausage & Potato Skillet
Potatoes are a staple of Irish cooking, and they pair perfectly with the bold flavor of Wilders Berkshire Pork Ground Sausage.
Our ground sausage is well seasoned and packed with flavor, making it a great base for an easy one-pan meal.
Start by cooking diced Yukon gold potatoes in a cast iron skillet until they begin to crisp. In the same pan, add Wilders Berkshire Pork Ground Sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Toss in diced onion and bell peppers and let everything cook together until golden and caramelized.
Finish with fresh parsley and serve straight from the skillet.
It’s simple, filling, and packed with flavor.
Wagyu Skirt Steak & Crispy Potatoes
If you’re hosting friends this St. Patrick’s Day, steak makes a great centerpiece meal.
Our Wilders Wagyu Skirt Steak cooks quickly and delivers incredible flavor thanks to its rich Wagyu marbling. A quick sear in a hot cast iron skillet is all it takes to bring out its natural flavor.
Serve it sliced thin across the grain with crispy roasted potatoes, sautéed cabbage or greens, and a little garlic butter.
It’s a simple meal that feels special without requiring much prep.
