Allow natural release for 15 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread.

🍸 Suggested Cocktail Pairing

🍸

Mint Julep

🥃 Bourbon

The rich, savory depth of beef is a natural match for the warm caramel and oak notes of bourbon and whiskey.

The official drink of the Kentucky Derby since 1938. Bourbon, fresh mint, and simple syrup over crushed ice. Cool, aromatic, and deeply Southern.
