Adventures with Beef: Introduction

In December, we purchased a quarter share of a cow with three other couples from Wolf Creek Farm.  They raise grass-fed, antibiotic-free cows on a sustainable farm.

Because we purchased a quarter share, there are a lot of cuts I have no idea how to cook.  Ground beef, steaks...well, those are easy!  But, short ribs? brisket? No idea.  Then there are the things I am not brave enough to cook, like the heart and liver.  Those were pawned off on a gift to my friend Nik, who is far more adventurous than I.  (He's even cooked tongue!)

My plan is to share recipes for the things I am less familiar with cooking.  I imagine there will be some mis-steps, but I am also hoping for some good recipes.
