Slow-Cooked Boston Butt with BBQ Sauce Ingredients: 1 Wilders Berkshire Boston butt (about 5-7 pounds) Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons smoked paprika 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) For the BBQ Sauce: 1 cup ketchup 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Instructions: Rub the Boston butt with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper if using. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge for more flavor. Place the seasoned Boston butt in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Shred the Boston butt with forks and toss in the BBQ sauce. Serve on buns with coleslaw for a classic pulled pork sandwich, or with your favorite sides. Enjoy!

Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Rest and Slice: Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the green beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the beans are tender-crisp. Sprinkle with lemon zest and toss to combine. Plate the sliced skirt steak alongside the garlicky green beans. Garnish with extra lemon zest if desired. Serve and enjoy! Grilled Lemon-Herb Pork Chops Ingredients: 4 bone-in Wilders Berkshire pork chops Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 lemon, zested and juiced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped Instructions In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

When it comes to Wagyu beef, the spotlight often shines on the prime cuts- ribeyes, tenderloin filets, and New York Strips. When thinking of Berkshire Pork, the focus is on Pork Chops and Tenderloin. While these cuts are undeniably delicious, they overshadow a couple lesser-known cuts that are equally deserving of your attention. These underrated cuts offer incredible flavor and tenderness and may become your new go-to cut! From juicy bacon seasoning pieces to flavorful chuck-eyes, we'll explore why these cuts deserve a place in your kitchen and on your plate. 1. Chuck-Eye Steak The chuck-eye steak is a cut that deserves much more recognition than it typically receives. Sourced from the upper shoulder area of the cow, right next to the ribeye, the chuck-eye shares many of the same rich flavors and tender textures that make ribeye a favorite among steak lovers. It is a great option when you are looking for a great steak that is a little bit less expensive! 2. Sirloin Tip Steak The Sirloin Tip Steak comes from the round primal of the cow. This means it is a lean and versatile cut that is tender and juicy, making it ideal for grilling, broiling, or stir-frying. It is also perfect for kebabs, sliced roast beef sandwiches, and more! We also have a Wagyu Sirloin Tip Roast, which is great for slow roasting and feeding the whole family! 3. Seasoning Bacon Pieces Our Seasoning Bacon Pieces are the ultimate flavor booster that every kitchen needs. These pre-cut pieces are a little bit fattier than normal bacon strips, making them perfect for cooking. Whether you are making eggs, baked potatoes, soup, salad, omelets, pasta, stew- you name it, it would taste better with Seasoning Bacon Pieces! 4. Boston Butt The Boston Butt, despite its name, comes from the upper part of the pork shoulder and is a star in Southern BBQ. It is perfect for slow-cooking methods like smoking or braising, where it turns into tender, juicy meat that falls apart effortlessly. Ideal for pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, or as a standalone dish, the Boston Butt is a versatile and flavorful choice that never disappoints.   You can’t go wrong with any of our products, but we hope this guide helps you discover a few new favorites. Whether you’re a long-time Wilders fan or you're looking to try something different, these underrated cuts are sure to impress!

When many people think of brisket, their minds instantly go to the succulent flavors achieved through traditional smoking methods. While smoking is indeed a popular and delicious way to cook this cut of meat, it's far from the only one. Here we will explore 3 ways to prepare a Wilders brisket that are just as great!  1. Slow-Cooked Braised Brisket Ingredients: 1 Wilders Wagyu brisket (your choice of size, cooking times may vary) Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 onions, sliced 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup beef broth 1 cup red wine 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 bay leaves Fresh thyme sprigs Instructions: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned, then remove and set aside. In the same pot, add onions and garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in the beef broth, red wine, and tomato paste, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the brisket to the pot, add bay leaves and thyme sprigs, and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Remove the brisket, slice against the grain, and serve with the braising liquid. Enjoy!!  2. Pressure Cooker Brisket Ingredients: 1 Wilders Wagyu brisket (your choice of size, cooking times may vary) Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup beef broth 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Instructions: Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Set your pressure cooker to the sauté function and heat the olive oil. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, then remove and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pressure cooker, cooking until softened. Stir in the beef broth, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika. Return the brisket to the pressure cooker, ensuring it is covered with the liquid mixture. Lock the lid in place and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 75 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally. Remove the brisket, slice against the grain, and serve with the sauce from the pressure cooker. Enjoy!! 3. Oven-Roasted Brisket Ingredients: 1 Wilders Wagyu Brisket (your choice of size, cooking times may vary) Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cups beef broth 1 cup barbecue sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder Instructions: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper. In a roasting pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned. In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour the mixture over the brisket in the roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Remove the brisket from the oven, let it rest for 15-20 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve with juice from the pan.

Add the minced garlic, parsley, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Once the steak is grilled to your liking, remove from the grill and immediately brush with the garlic butter mixture. Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

If desired, during the last few minutes of grilling the bratwursts, open the hoagie rolls and place them cut-side-down on the grill to toast lightly.

To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, white wine vinegar, and honey in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
