How We Help You Cook Your Perfect Summer Meal

You know what time it is, it’s grilling season in Michigan, so everybody and their mother is out using the grill swearing that they “don’t cook that much”. Here at Pease Packing, we love that energy, and if you’re new to us then you can search our site to see what we’re all about, including our custom cut instructions!

However, in this month’s blog, we’re highlighting our custom cut instructions and how we can make your freezer beef (or pork) feel tailor-made for your summer meals instead of a random pile of packages.

The “Cut Sheet” is Where Your Summer Starts

When you order a whole, half, or quarter, the biggest win is choice. Here at Pease Packing, we tag your animal so it stays yours, then we cut it to your specifications, which means you can plan a special meal around those who matter most to you.

Want more thick steaks for weekend cookouts? Or would you prefer more ground for tacos and bowls? The cut instructions are how you steer the ship.

Simple Decisions That Make a Big Difference

You don’t need to be a meat expert to fill out a cut sheet. You just need to think about your “default meals” and choose options that match them. Here are a few easy, high-impact choices people make for summer:

• Steak thickness (thin for quick sears, thicker for reverse-sear and sharing)
• Roast sizes (one big roast vs. multiple smaller ones for flexibility)
• Ground beef packaging sizes (1 lb. packs are a weeknight lifesaver)
• Rib and brisket preferences if smoking is part of your summer plans
• Specialty cuts if you love fajitas and marinades

Why Pease Packing Makes It Easier

As a USDA-compliant processor focused on farm-to-table quality, we take meat processing very seriously, from receiving and tagging to custom cutting. And if you’re not sure what to pick, you don’t have to guess alone.
