Classic Smoked Beef Short Ribs 🥩

Rich, smoky, and incredibly tender, these beef short ribs are seasoned simply to let the beef shine. Cook them low and slow until they're probe-tender and practically falling off the bone.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 7–9 hours
Serves: 4–6

Ingredients:
4–5 lbs Certified Piedmontese Beef Short Ribs
2 tbsp yellow mustard (binder, optional)
Dry Rub
2 tbsp kosher salt
2 tbsp coarse black pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
For Spritzing (Optional)
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For Serving
BBQ sauce (optional)
Chopped parsley

Instructions:
Trim any excess fat or loose silver skin from the ribs. Pat dry with paper towels.
Lightly coat the ribs with yellow mustard, then season generously on all sides with the dry rub.
Preheat your smoker to 250°F using oak, hickory, or pecan wood.
Place the ribs bone-side down and smoke for 3–4 hours, until a deep mahogany bark develops.

If desired, spritz the ribs every hour after the first 2 hours with the beef broth and apple cider vinegar mixture to help keep the exterior moist.
Once the bark is set, wrap the ribs tightly in butcher paper or foil and return them to the smoker.

Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 203–205°F and the meat is probe-tender, about 3–5 more hours.

Remove from the smoker and let the ribs rest for 30–45 minutes before slicing.
Serve as-is or brush with your favorite BBQ sauce during the final 15 minutes of cooking for a sticky glaze.

30-minute meal!? Creamy jalapeño popper orzo & sausage was made in under 30 minutes & was a major crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients
4 Certified Piedmontese sausage links, sliced
4 slices bacon, diced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeño, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 cup orzo
2 cups bone broth
4oz cream cheese
1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and bacon and cook until the sausage is lightly browned and the bacon begins to crisp.
2. To the skillet, add onions, peppers, and garlic, cooking until softened, roughly 3 minutes.
3. Once softened, add orzo and broth. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes on a simmer. When ready, orzo should be tender, and almost all liquid should be evaporated.
4. Add the cream cheese and 1/2cup cheddar cheese to the skillet and mix until melted and well combined. If you prefer it to be cheesier, add the remaining 1/2 cup. If too much liquid gets absorbed, add a few splashes of broth.

🥩 Ground Beef Runza Casserole

This easy, comforting casserole has all the flavors of a classic Nebraska Runza: savory ground beef, tender cabbage, onions, melty cheese, and buttery crescent rolls baked until golden brown.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 6–8

Ingredients
1 lb Certified Piedmontese 85/15 Ground Beef
1 small yellow onion, diced
½ large green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 5–6 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Flaky salt (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the Certified Piedmontese 85/15 Ground Beef until browned. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Add the butter, diced onion, and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the sliced cabbage, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and most of the moisture has cooked off. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
Unroll one can of crescent dough and press the triangles together to form one solid layer. Press it into the bottom of the pan, pinching the seams closed.
Spread the beef and cabbage mixture evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the filling.
Top with the second can of crescent dough, pinching the seams together to create one solid crust. Tuck the edges down around the filling.
Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
