A Farmer’s Holiday Table: Our Favorite Christmas Beef Recipes

The holidays are a special time here on the farm — when the pace slows down (just a little), the kitchen warms up, and family gathers around the table for meals made with love and homegrown goodness.

At Herd 77, our Christmas table is always centered around one thing: beef that brings everyone together. Whether it’s a slow-roasted prime rib, a cozy beef stew, or a spread of appetizers made with our beef sticks and ground beef, these recipes are what make the season feel like home.

🎄 Our Holiday Table Favorites

1. Herb-Crusted Prime Rib Roast

Nothing says “holiday centerpiece” like a perfectly roasted prime rib.
Rub your roast with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and salt, then slow-roast it until the center is perfectly pink. Serve it with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, and a drizzle of pan juices — simple, classic, and unforgettable.

2. Slow-Cooked Beef Short Ribs

If you love comfort food, this one’s for you. Short ribs simmered in red wine, onions, and garlic until they fall off the bone. Serve over mashed potatoes or polenta for a cozy Christmas Eve dinner.

3. Beef Tenderloin with Garlic Butter

Tender, elegant, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Sear your tenderloin and roast it to perfection, then finish with a garlic herb butter for a meal that looks fancy but feels easy.

4. Holiday Appetizers with a Farm Twist

Our favorite pre-dinner bites often use the same Herd 77 beef you already love — think beef stick charcuterie boards, mini meatballs in cranberry glaze, or sliders made with seasoned ground beef. They’re crowd-pleasers every time.

❤️ What Makes It Special

Around here, the best meals aren’t just about the food — they’re about the people gathered around it. Every roast or steak we serve carries the story of our farm, the care behind each animal, and the gratitude we feel for everyone who chooses to bring Herd 77 to their holiday table.

So this season, whether you’re hosting a big family feast or keeping it simple by the fire, we hope you’ll make your meal something to savor — local, delicious, and made with love.
