Side of Beef

If you're new to US Wellness Meats, you may not realize that we offer whole and partial primal cuts in our online store. Over the years, we've had numerous requests for these larger portioned cuts. It's the next best thing to buying a side of beef, which is a lot of meat. What's so good about ordering larger cuts you might ask? It does take up more room in the freezer, but it's also a more frugal way to purchase meat. We have some extremely talented and experienced meat cutters at US Wellness Meats and they spend a lot of time cutting and preparing retail cuts for sale in our online store, local Grassland Market, and for restaurants, schools, and wholesalers. When you buy larger primal cuts, it takes far less time to prepare for shipment, since you're doing some of the work. When the primal size cuts arrive at your home, you can choose how to cut them. How thick do you want your steak? Will a 2lb roast suffice or are you feeding more people? These are choices left to you that allow us to pass along savings to our primal customers. Many of our Restaurant partners prefer primal cuts for these very reasons.

The primal cuts from a steer include: Chuck, Rib, Loin, Round, Flank, Plate, Brisket, and Shanks. Read up on the qualities and primary retail cuts of each on our Discover Wellness Blog. Many of the primal size cuts we sell online are located in our Beef Primals category and include: Whole Beef Ribeye (6.25lbs), Beef Top Sirloin Primal (4.5lbs), Whole Primal Beef Striploin (7.25lbs), Beef Back Ribs (14lbs), Whole Primal Beef Inside Round (15lbs), and Whole Primal Beef Tenderloin aka Filet Mignon (2.75lbs). Here's where the savings come in...as an example, you can save over $100 by purchasing a whole primal striploin and cutting your own steaks as opposed to an equal quantity of individual steaks. That's a considerable savings! Click here for even more frugal food shopping tips and remember, when you order 15lbs or more, your shipping is absolutely free!

All the Best, Team USWM

Fight the Virus Hiding Inside You

By Dr. Sears

(15% OFF Storewide Discount Code)

A virus remains dormant inside your body long after you were first infected…right up until the day it gets reactivated because of a weak immune system. No, I’m not talking about Covid. I’m talking about shingles. And anyone who’s ever had chickenpox as a child is at risk of getting this nervous system viral infection. They’re both caused by the varicella-zoster virus.

February 2024 Featured Chef
Our Featured Chef for February 2024 is Kirsten Sandoval. Chef Kirsten Helle Sandoval is the founder/C(hef)EO of Mesa de Vida, a line of globally inspired, healthy meal starter sauces. She is a former private chef to professional athletes in the NFL, NBA and WNBA, mom to two children with a rare genetic cancer syndrome, living kidney donor, wife, and passionate foodie. She shares healthy, easy-to-make recipes celebrating the flavors of global cuisines that help people connect at the table more often.

"As a chef, I often prepared complicated, time-intensive meals for a wide variety of dietary needs and food preferences, but at home it's about minding the budget and getting a nourishing, yummy meal on the table for the family! So most nights it's soups, stews and slow cooker meals with a globally-inspired flavor twist, or using planned leftovers from the night before so I don't have to cook every single night."
— Kirsten Sandoval

This week, Kirsten prepares a versatile, savory meal often derived from yesterday's leftovers. This is the classic Beef and Vegetable Cottage Pie many of us loved as children. This is one you'll want to add to your menu.

Know Your Farmer

We think it's important to know where food comes from, how it's raised, and who raises it. These are important factors because nutrition (people fuel) starts in the ground not in a laboratory or factory. Our farms are dedicated to being good stewards of the land, air, water, and animals we raise. We were sustainable before sustainable was cool. US Wellness Farms use NO antibiotics, NO GMOs, NO added growth hormones, NO mRNA animal vaccines, NO pesticides, and NO Herbicides. Our foods are all-natural and loaded with quality nutrition.
