How to Plan an Amazing Date Night Dinner
The kids are taken care of for the evening, and you’re now tasked with figuring out how you’re going to spend your precious alone time together.

Once you’ve cast your main stage, it’s time to move onto the supporting players. Don’t overshadow that incredible grass fed beef with filling side dishes. Head over to the produce aisle to pluck something fresh to pair with your grass fed ribeye. Crisp asparagus provides tasty balance to the plate and is simply delicious when roasted on a sheet pan in the oven. Round out your dinner with a starch, like baby potatoes, which bake quickly and easily. Season with garlic for added zest.
What date night would be complete without a fancy beverage? Grass fed beef pairs well with a variety of wines; check out our recommendations here! If you or your sweetheart aren’t fans of vino, be sure to pour lighter to medium-bodied bourbons (or mocktails) that won’t overpower your grass fed beef’s lean qualities.

Safely Store Your Grass Fed Beef

- Plate your toast, eggs and grass fed beef slices with fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries, and maybe even a drizzle of your favorite sauce
Maybe it’s more of a lunch or midday meal you need to whip up. Your leftover grass fed beef can come in handy for that occasion too! No need to run out to a busy, expensive drive-through to get a delicious, cheesy quesadilla. You can create a better-for-you version in your very own kitchen in a fraction of the time, for a fraction of the cost, and we daresay the cheese pull is even more impressive.
- Add one wholegrain tortilla to a frying pain on medium-high heat.
- Slice the grass fed beef and layer on top of the tortilla with a generous helping of your favorite cheese. Cheddars and Colby are great options for maximum melt.
