Winter Slow Cook Beef Bundle
Montana-Raised Beef for Steady, Comforting Meals
Built for Cold Evenings and Full Kitchens
There’s something about slow cooking that feels different.
You don’t rush it.
You don’t hover.
You let time do its work.That’s how we ranch — and that’s how these cuts were meant to be cooked.
The Winter Slow Cook Beef Bundle brings together the hearty, steady cuts that shine in the crockpot, Dutch oven, or low-and-slow oven roast. These are the meals that fill the house with good smells and the table with real nourishment.
Only 10 bundles available from current winter inventory.
What’s Inside (Approximately 15–17 lbs Total)
• 1 Montana Beef Brisket (approx. 3.5–5 lbs)
• 2 Chuck or Shoulder Roasts (approx. 3 lbs each)
• 6–8 Round & Bottom Round Steaks (approx. 4–5 lbs total)
• 4 Ranch Beef Sticks for high-protein snackingAll vacuum-sealed, dry-aged, and ready for your freezer.
Simple 3-Step Ranch Roast (Included With Every Bundle)
-
Place roast in crockpot. Add 1 cup broth or water. Salt generously.
-
Cook on low 8 hours (or high 4–5 hours). Don’t lift the lid.
-
Shred or slice. Let it rest in juices 10 minutes before serving.
That’s how we cook it here at the ranch.
Why These Cuts Matter
Brisket for slow Sunday meals or St. Patrick’s Day planning.
Chuck roast for easy crockpot dinners that stretch.
Round steak for hearty, practical weeknight meals.These cuts are:
-
Protein-dense
-
Freezer-friendly
-
Budget-smart
-
Designed to feed a family well

If you’re:
-
Cooking more at home
-
Stocking your freezer with intention
-
Learning to love slow cooking
-
Or building toward a 1/4 or 1/2 beef share
This is a smart place to start.
Many families begin with a bundle like this and later move into bulk beef once they see how much they enjoy having their freezer stocked.

Welcome to T Bar J Ranch
Our Story
Our ranch was homesteaded by Al's Grandfather in 1909. He recorded our brand in 1911, using the initials of Al's Grandmother, Theoline Johanna. Thus the T Bar J brand has been a part of this land every since. Never belonged to anyone else.
We live on the short grass prairies of Montana where the deer and the antelope play, an occasional elk, moose or bear wander by and the coyotes howl at night.

After winning our monthly giveaway, she wrote a heartfelt (and hilarious) review of her T Bar J experience, from ground beef to beef sticks to honey.
It’s personal, honest, and a great read.

Let customers speak for us
We received our Montana steak box all the way from Montana to Texas last week! Everything arrived frozen with the most beautiful steaks I’ve ever seen! The kind of steak you spend $60 or more at a fine restaurant! T Bar J included recipes, honey (from the ranch!) and a variety of beef sticks!
The customer service is excellent! Amber stayed in touch from the moment we placed our order all the way through delivery! You won’t believe how many steaks you get in a Montana Steak box!
We can’t wait for Texas to thaw out so we can enjoy T Bar J beef right off the grill!
We are placing another order next month for a 1/8 side! I won’t shop anywhere else for beef and neither should you!
Bought these for a special Montana made, useable gift. I messed up the delivery address and this business was over the top in covering my mistake and getting it to the corrected address. Thank you so much!!! We will be a repeat customer!!!
I was thinking of spreading the goodness around for Christmas but made me an early gift. So good tender delicious you just can’t get better steak.
That simple you guys are simply AWESOME!!!; No matter what! Doing a great job!!! Jack and Diana Daniels
For starters, the customer service you get is absolutely top-notch, they make you feel like a VIP.
The meat arrives fast, expertly packaged and frozen. It tastes fantastic, I describe it as eating ground ribeye, the meat to fat ratio is perfect. I will definitely be buying again!
The most important part is the quality of the beef: amazing flavor, tender. Almost as important is how friendly and down to earth they are. How many times have you ordered something and one of the owners contacts you personally to make sure everything went OK? Will definitely be ordering more.
The beef was outstanding. Could not ask for better customer service. They contacted me before and after the shipment to ensure everything was to my satisfaction.
What a wonderful experience.
The beef was soooooo good. Definitely will be ordering again.
We loved them should of order two.This last batch was little hard to open for us but.

We love our variety of meat we purchased. Each package has great flavor and we know we are getting beef and pork that is raised clean and grass fed. Al and Amber are true Montana ranchers!
The pork was processed and packed very nicely and has a great taste. Wonderful working with the Nordahl's!!!
