West Forty Market

 After years of rave reviews over the beef John & Sue Ebensberger were producing on their hobby farm, West Forty (40 acres west of Greene, IA) was born!


We have been selling individual cuts and custom wholesale options in Greene since 2013 and Des Moines since 2016. In September 2019, John & Sue purchased the grocery store in Greene, renaming it West Forty Market. You can find all of our locally raised meats at the store!

After being a full time vendor at the Des Moines Farmers Market and offering delivery around the metro, Teresa (their daughter) decided to open her own retail store in Ankeny, IA in May 2021. West Forty Market is located in Uptown Ankeny and features over 120 cuts of beef, pork, chicken, bison, lamb and turkey - all raised on local Iowa farms and butchered in Iowa. We also feature over a dozen local products, including pasta, rubs, sauces and honey.

Grass-fed, grain-finished and raised with love and care ... we are confident you'll enjoy the amazing flavor and tenderness of our meats!

Picanha Steak Delivered to Your Door

The Brazilian Showstopper

Picanha steak is a true star, renowned for its bold beef flavor and tender, juicy texture. This cut, popular in Brazilian cuisine, is perfect for grilling, roasting, or skewering for a traditional churrasco. Known for its fat cap that adds flavor and moisture during cooking, picanha is a favorite among steak lovers who enjoy a flavorful, hearty meal with a unique twist.

Fun Facts:

  • Brazilian Classic: Picanha is the signature steak of Brazil, often served in churrasco (Brazilian BBQ) and renowned for its rich flavor and tenderness.

  • Fat Cap Flavor: The fat cap is essential for flavor and moisture, creating a deliciously crispy exterior while keeping the meat juicy inside.

  • Grill-Ready: Picanha sears beautifully on the grill, allowing the fat to render and form a crisp crust that enhances the flavor.

  • Unique Cut: This cut is taken from the top of the rump, offering both tenderness and a bold beefy taste, making it a favorite for grilling enthusiasts.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • High in Protein: A great source of lean protein to support muscle growth and recovery.

  • Rich in Iron and Zinc: Helps with the production of red blood cells and supports immune function.

  • B Vitamins Boost: Important for energy production and cognitive health.

Cooking Tips:

  • Grilling: Grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, making sure the fat cap is rendered for a crispy finish.

  • Roasting: Roast with the fat cap facing up to allow it to render and baste the meat as it cooks.

  • Slice Against the Grain: For maximum tenderness, slice picanha against the grain after cooking.

  • Rare: 120–125°F

  • Medium-Rare: 130–135°F
