Pasture-Raised Beef · 21-Day Dry-Aged
They call it the poor man’s brisket. It is better than that sounds.
About a pound off the plate, the same part of the animal short ribs come from — without the bone, and without the price that comes with the name.

Why it is cheap
the plate has never had a famous name attached to it, so it gets ground or sold as trim in most places. Nothing about the meat justifies that — only the marketing.
Here
it is the same rich, well-marbled belly-side beef that makes short ribs worth braising.
That gives you two honest routes. Cook it hot and fast to medium-rare and slice it thin across the grain, and it eats like a very good skirt steak. Or braise it for hours and it goes the way a short rib does, deep and unctuous, with no bone to work around. What it will not survive is the middle ground.
From the farm
This is the kind of cut we are always looking for — something that eats far above what it costs.
How to cook it
01
Decide which way you are going first. Fast and rare, or slow and falling apart. The cut does both well and neither halfway.
02
Fast route: hard sear, 130°F, thin slices. Very hot pan, a couple of minutes a side, pull at medium-rare, rest, then slice thin across the grain.
03
Slow route: brown, then braise covered. Sear it, add liquid halfway up, lid on, low oven. Quoted hours are an estimate only.
04
Slow route is done around 200–205°F. Fork-tender, well past any safety point. Between about 140°F and 190°F you get the worst of both — do not stop there.
