Deer Creek Beef

Deer Creek Beef and Maryland's Best

Deer Creek Beef is proud to be partnered with the Maryland's Best website. It is an online resource to help you connect with the best local products from Maryland's farmers--from meat, produce, seafood, and specialty foods to grains, nursery items, and ag-recreational activities.  Be sure to check out their website and round off one of our fantastic Deer Creek Beef main dishes with some local produce, grains and coffee.

It's already March, which means Spring is just around the corner. It seems we get the feel of the warm sun on our backs at least once a week. And with the coming of Spring, is the coming of the Bel Air Farmers' Market. The market opens on April 12, so get your grill ready and we'll see you there!

In the meantime, our beef is available year-round at The Mill of Bel Air.  The in-store freezer features a full selection of Deer Creek Beef steaks, roasts and ground beef – the same cuts and the same prices as you’ll find at the market. And these waning chilly days are perfect for comfort foods and slow cooking. Your favorite recipe for brisket, pot roast, stew, chili or soup will be even better when you start with our locally-raised, dry aged beef. Need a quick meal? Try our heat-and-serve beef barbecue or our ever-popular burger patties. (Check The Mill’s website or call 410-838-6111 for hours and directions.)

More proof that local beef is a better choice

In response to the recent beef recalls in California, Baltimore's ABC 2 News channel paid a visit to the Holloway's farm to talk about why locally raised beef is a better choice.

Something's cooking at the Bel Air Farmers' Market

Our steaks are mouthwatering. But don't take our word for it. Come see (and taste) for yourself this Saturday at the Bel Air Farmers' Market.
We're firing up our grill and pulling out a new special in time for these cool, early Fall evenings--perfect grilling weather.
Come give this week's special a taste, and we know you won't go home empty-handed.

This week’s special:
New York Strip End-Cut steaks (vein steaks)   
$6.50/lb.

Cut from the sirloin end of the New York strip, with the same great flavor as our center-cut strip steaks. Dry-aged, thick cut and individually vacu-packed, these steaks are perfect for the grill and always a great value. We sell them as “vein steaks” because of the vein of gristle that runs naturally through part of the muscle. Slice around that and enjoy a wonderful steak!

A little salt and pepper is all they need, but they also work well with your favorite rub, marinade or recipe. Round off your menu by shopping the farmers’ market for some locally grown potatoes or corn, heirloom tomatoes, melons and fresh-baked bread. What better way to enjoy the new season than with a little grilling, a good steak and a local menu.

Labor Day Specials

The family farmers behind Deer Creek Beef work hard to bring you the tastiest cuts of beef. We want to bring the pleasure of eating back to your table. Nothing can rival the feeling of sitting down to a meal that didn't travel miles and miles to make it to your plate. It's eating that you can feel good about.

Labor Day Specials--extended until September 16th!!
Thick-cut Ribeye Steaks
$10/lb
These steaks are always a favorite:
1½ inch thick, boneless and trimmed to perfection. Simply grill and enjoy with a plate of local tomatoes and corn, or season with your favorite rub, top with herbed butter or fresh garden salsa.
Try them in a new recipe--you just can't go wrong with these steaks...the possibilities are endless.
Don’t overcook them. And let them rest a few minutes after cooking before slicing or serving.

Our Gourmet Burgers
$8 per pack of six 6-oz. burgers
Plenty in stock. Perfect for a crowd.

Our Delicious Ground Beef
$3/lb (1 lb packs)

Building the perfect burger.
You choose. Start with our delicious, convenient patties or handcraft your own burgers from our amazing ground beef. Either way, just grill them to medium rare and finish with your favorite toppings. Local cheese, fresh vine-ripe tomatoes, grilled onions, bacon and sauteed mushrooms, or let them stand alone--with or without a bun. They’re that good.

The reason?
All our beef is aged for rich flavor and tenderness, even the cuts that go in our ground beef and patties. Our butcher grinds only our hand cut and carefully trimmed beef, making sure the mix stays lean (at least 85% lean). The patty machine makes a nice, thick 6-oz. patty that comes as close to hand-made as possible. The one-pound packs of ground beef and patties are all quickly frozen to preserve the quality and flavor until you’re ready to thaw, cook and enjoy.

Keep your freezer stocked. Our burgers are perfect for a quick school night meal or weekend cookout.

The Life of the Party

What's a barbeque without good burgers?

July 4th Specials
Deer Creek Beef Burgers
$8 per pack of 6 burgers
Generous 6-oz. patties

(A Deer Creek Beef tasting at the Bel Air Farmers' Market)

Perfect for the grilling season.
Add your favorite toppings for spectacular burgers, or try one “straight up” with just a little salt and pepper.
They’re that good!

Find these specials and all of our Deer Creek Beef at The Bel Air Farmers Market, and The Mill of Bel Air. 

Cooking for Dad

Father’s Day Special
Ribeye Steaks
$10/lb. 

Our ribeye steaks make the perfect Father’s Day gift, but they are great anytime the grill’s going. Tender, juicy and flavorful, this is a no-miss steak. Delicious with just a little salt and pepper, but works well with your favorite rub, sauce or topping, too. (Try topping a grilled ribeye with herbed butter or a rich Gorgonzola cheese.) Our steaks are thick-cut so you can cook them to a perfect medium rare (beef this good should not be over-cooked!). One steak will feed two people generously… but leftovers are a bonus.

Why are our steaks better? We start with really good beef – through genetics, feed and management – and then we have our butcher dry age all our beef for at least three weeks. This old-fashioned and time-honored step makes every cut of Deer Creek Beef more tender and gives it an incredibly rich flavor. Our ribeye steaks will convince you. Try some while they’re on special. Spoil yourself… or dad.

 

Find our steaks on special this weekend at the BelAir Farmers' Market,  where we'll be hosting a tasting, or the Mill of BelAir.
