When it comes to Christmas beef recipes, few things capture the spirit of the season like a beautifully roasted cut of grassfed beef. A tender Beef Wellington, a juicy prime rib, or a slow-roasted chuck can transform your holiday dinner into a meal everyone remembers.
At TX Bar Grassfed Beef, we believe the secret to an unforgettable Christmas table starts with high-quality, responsibly raised beef, packed with rich flavor and natural tenderness that comes from how it’s raised.
Why Quality Matters for Your Christmas Roast
The best beef for Christmas dinner isn’t just about the cut, it’s about the quality. Grassfed beef is naturally leaner, full of flavor, and higher in nutrients like omega-3s and antioxidants.
Unlike grain-fed beef, grassfed cattle grow at a natural pace and graze on open pastures, producing meat that’s both better for you. The result? Beef with a depth of flavor that truly stands out when slow-roasted, grilled, or wrapped in golden pastry for your festive centerpiece.
1. Grassfed Beef Wellington
A Christmas Beef Wellington is the definition of indulgence, and it’s surprisingly simple to prepare when you start with the right cut.
Ingredients:
- TX Bar Grassfed Beef tenderloin (center-cut)
- Puff pastry
- Dijon mustard
- Mushrooms, shallots, and garlic
- Prosciutto or thin-cut ham
- Egg wash for sealing
How to Make It:
- Sear your tenderloin until browned on all sides, then brush it with mustard.
- Cook the mushroom mixture (duxelles) until dry and flavorful.
- Wrap the beef in prosciutto, spread the duxelles over it, and roll it tightly in puff pastry.
- Bake until the pastry is golden and the beef is medium-rare inside.
The result is tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef surrounded by layers of rich, buttery pastry, the ultimate showstopper for any holiday table.
2. Prime Rib Christmas Dinner
Nothing says celebration quite like a perfectly roasted prime rib Christmas dinner.
Pro Tip: Always bring your beef to room temperature before roasting. This ensures even cooking and a tender, juicy center.
Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs like rosemary or thyme. Roast low and slow until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving, this locks in the juices and gives you that perfect pink interior.
Pair your prime rib with classic sides like roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and a rich homemade gravy made from the drippings.
3. Festive Beef Roast with Red Wine Jus
If you prefer something hearty but simple, a Christmas roast beef with red wine jus is a our favorite.
Use a grassfed chuck or top round roast. Sear it first to lock in flavor, then cook it low and slow with onions, garlic, carrots, and a splash of red wine. The long roast time brings out deep, rich flavors and leaves the meat fork-tender, perfect for a cozy Christmas dinner.
