Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 2 lbs Elkins Cattle Co. Ground Beef
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, washed and diced into small cubes
  • 2 cups white rice
  • 4 cups of bone broth
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • Hummus
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Olive oil
  • salt & pepper
  • minced garlic
  • Hot honey (for drizzling)

Directions

  1. Cook the Rice: In a pot, combine 2 cups rice and 4 cups bone broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. 
  2. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 30 minutes, flipping halfway. For extra caramelization, broil for the last 2–3 minutes until edges are golden.
  3. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, ground beef, a scoop of cottage cheese, and a spoonful of hummus.
  5. Finish & Serve: Add sliced avocado, sprinkle pumpkin seeds, and drizzle with hot honey. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips From Our Table

  • For extra flavor and texture, let the ground beef sit untouched on higher heat for the last minute of cooking so it forms a golden, crunchy edge.
  • Add some cooking tallow in your white to add a buttery flavor.

Why Use Our Beef?

  • GRASS-FED & FINISHED

    Most beef labeled "grass-fed" still ends with grain. Ours doesn’t. From birth to harvest, our cattle eat only native grasses—never grain or industrial feed. It’s beef the way nature intended.

  • DRY-AGED FOR MAXIMUM FLAVOR

    Every cut is dry-aged for a minimum of 15 days, naturally concentrating flavor and tenderness. That deep maroon color? It’s a sign of real, properly aged beef.

  • EXPERTLY BUTCHERED & HAND-PACKED

    Our beef consistently earns USDA Prime—the highest grade for marbling and tenderness—inspected and verified by the USDA at our local processor. Every cut is expertly hand-trimmed by skilled butchers right here in Texas.
