Knock, knock: Whose there? June!

Father's Day is just around the corner. What to get the man who has everything? A power tool? Car wash tokens? A new grill? Or something that goes on the grill.. Something that says, “I love you, Dad, now let's have more BBQs together!” There’s no better way to celebrate Dad than by firing up the grill and sharing stories over a perfectly cooked steak. Whether he’s a backyard BBQ boss or simply loves a great cut of beef, this Father’s Day is your chance to give him a delicious, unforgettable gift. Steak!

We’ve crafted the Ultimate Father’s Day Grilling Guide—packed with practical grilling tips and our best steak selections in our Father's Day bundle to make this year’s celebration a true feast.

🔥 Grilling Tips for a Simply Delicious Steak

(Check out “Our July BBQ Traditions” for more recipes)

1. Start with Room-Temperature Steaks

Let your steaks rest at room temperature for 30–45 minutes before grilling. This ensures an even cook and a juicy interior.

2. Preheat That Grill

Whether you’re using gas or charcoal, get your grill hot before the steak comes into contact with the grate. Aim for 450–500°F for a Grate sear.

3. Season Simply

As we take great pride in our steaks, we tend to keep it simple and let the meat shine. We recommend a generous layer of kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper (chefs' kiss).

4. Use the Two-Zone Method

Create a hot zone for searing and a cooler zone for finishing. Sear each side for 2–3 minutes, then move to indirect heat. (Use a thermometer to ensure proper temp.)

5. Let It Rest!

Give Dad and your steaks a rest. After grilling, tent the steaks with foil and let them rest for 5–10 minutes. This keeps the juices locked in. Dig in!

Cozy Crocks in Cozy socks

Cozy Crocks in Cozy Socks There's something about October that makes me want to pull on my thickest socks, light a fire, and let something delicious simmer away in the crock pot all day long. The air gets crisp, the leaves start their show, and suddenly all I'm craving is the kind of meal that fills the house with warmth before it ever hits the table. My brother, Christian, has been busy prepping the farm for winter—fixing fence, checking water sources, and making sure the herd has everything they need as the temperatures drop. Meanwhile, I've been thinking about comfort food. The kind that requires almost no effort but delivers maximum coziness. That's why we're running a special on our Crock Pot Bundle this month—30% off while supplies last. What's in the Bundle? This box is basically Fall, in a freezer package: One beautiful Brisket (perfect for when you want to impress yourself)Two Chuck Roasts (the MVPs of pot roast season)Two Arm Roasts (amazing for those "set it at 8am, eat at 6pm" kind of days)Two pounds of Stew Meat (because soup season is officially here) Every cut from our cattle is premium. Pastured-raised and pasture-grazed here on our Missouri farm, finished with care, and processed locally. Christian takes pride in raising beef that tastes like beef should. These slow-cooking cuts really let that flavor shine. The Simplest Chuck Roast You'll Ever Make If you're new to slow cooking (or just want a foolproof recipe), here's my go-to chuck roast method: Equipment: Crock pot or Dutch oven What you need: 1 Parsons Creek chuck roast (3-4 lbs)1 whole onion1 garlic clove1 bag carrots4 peeled quartered potatoes Salt and pepper with your soul What you do: Put the chuck roast in your crock potAdd Onion, garlic, carrots, potatoes, salt & pepper Add 1-2 cups of water (more if you're planning to make gravy) Crockpot - Cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4-5 hours) Dutch oven - Cover and cook at 250 for 8 hours (or 4-5 hours at 350) That's it. No searing, no fancy technique. Just come home to beef so tender it falls apart with a fork, swimming in the most flavorful aju you've ever made without really trying. Serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or with a crusty piece of bread to soak up all that goodness. The Best Part of Slow Cooking Season What I love most about crock pot cooking isn't just the ease—it's the way it makes the whole house smell like home. You start it in the morning, go about your day, and by evening, you've got a meal that tastes like you spent hours on it. It's the kind of cooking that feels laborious, even though it's incredibly simple (in the best way). With beef from our farm, you're getting meat that actually tastes like something. Pasture-raised, grain-finished, no shortcuts. Just the way our family has been doing it for five generations. Grab Your Bundle Our Crock Pot Bundle is 30% off all October, which means now's the time to stock your freezer for the cozy months ahead. Whether you're a crockpot veteran or just getting started, these cuts will make you look like a kitchen genius with minimal effort. Head over to our store to order yours while we still have them in stock. And hey—if you try that chuck roast recipe, let me know how it turns out. I'm always curious what everyone's making with our beef. Here's to sweater weather, slow cookers, and meals that taste like a hug. — The Parsons Creek Steak Family
