One Cut, Three Meals: How to Stretch Your Beef Beyond Dinner.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from years of family farming, it’s that good beef can go a long way. Whether you’re feeding a family, meal-prepping for the week, or just trying to make your grocery dollars stretch, knowing how to get multiple meals out of one cut is a game-changer.

At Herd 77, we believe in quality and practicality — because great beef shouldn’t be reserved for just one night.

🥩 Start with One Great Cut

You don’t need a fancy lineup of steaks to feed your family well. Cuts like chuck roast or brisket can become the star of several meals throughout the week.

Slow-cook it once, and you’ve got tender, flavorful beef ready to transform into multiple dishes.

🍽️ Meal 1: Classic Roast Night

Start simple — a slow-cooked chuck roast with carrots, potatoes, and onions. Let the beef shine with salt, pepper, and maybe a touch of your favorite Herd 77 seasoning blend.

Enjoy that cozy, home-cooked meal on night one (and save all the leftovers — that’s where the magic happens).

🥪 Meal 2: Shredded Beef Sandwiches

The next day, shred up what’s left and toss it in a skillet with a little broth or BBQ sauce. Pile it high on buns with melted cheese and serve with chips or a salad.

It’s the kind of quick, no-stress meal every busy family needs mid-week.

🌮 Meal 3: Beef Tacos or Bowls

When you’re down to the last of your roast, it’s taco night. Add taco seasoning, sautéed peppers, and onions, and serve it in tortillas or over rice.

Top with avocado, cilantro, and lime — a whole new meal with the same delicious beef.

💡 Bonus Tips for Stretching Your Beef

• Freeze portions after cooking so you can use them later in soups or casseroles.

• Use the broth or cooking juices for soups, stews, or to flavor rice.

• Plan ahead: Cooking one large cut at the start of the week saves you time, energy, and money.

❤️ Why It Matters

In a world of quick fixes and grocery inflation, making the most of what you have just makes sense. Buying from small farms like Herd 77 not only gives you better-tasting beef — it gives you value that lasts well beyond one dinner.

So next time you’re planning your meals, think big: one cut, three dinners, endless flavor.
