JV Ranch Beef Tenderloin
JV Ranch is located in Auburn California and they are best known for their delicious USDA inspected beef products. They sell every cut of beef you can imagine. Each morsel is delicious and healthy because you know you are eating meat without hormones or other added fillers. The beef is grass-fed and raised on well-kept ranches. The last three months before preparation, they are grain fed to ensure proper marbling and flavor. JV Ranch is a family run ranch with over 163 years and six generations of living and ranching in the California foothills.
My family had the pleasure of preparing a beef tenderloin dish by marinating the beef for twenty four hours in a secret marinade recipe my dad would not divulge, but I suspect it included worschestshire, garlic, pepper, tobasco, and a dash of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I watched him throw it all together and by the next day it was ready for the grill. The marinade was good and not overpowering in flavor, allowing me to actually taste the meat. It was tender, flavorful and very delicious. I loved it, and so did the rest of my family. We ate the whole thing in one sitting!
If you have not had a chance to buy their beef at the market, you need to make a point to do so and make sure you pick up one of their beef rub spices. You can taste the quality!
