Tips For Cooking Grass Fed Beef
Your biggest culprit for
grass fed beef is overcooking. This beef is made for rare to
medium rare cooking. If you like well done beef, then cook your
grass fed beef at very low temperatures in a sauce to add
moisture, such as in a crock pot or slow oven.
Since grass fed beef is
lower in fat, coat with virgin olive oil, truffle oil or a
favorite light oil for flavor enhancement and easy browning.
The oil will also prevent drying and sticking.
Marinate your beef
before cooking, especially lean cuts like NY Strip and Sirloin
Steak. Choose a recipe that doesn't mask the delicate
flavor of grass fed beef but enhances the moisture content. Some
favorite marinades are lemon, vinegar, and wine. Some people use
their favorite Italian salad dressing. If you choose to
use vinegar or wine, use slightly less than you would use for
grain fed beef. Grass fed beef cooks quicker so they won't
have as much time to cook off. For safe handling always
marinate in the refrigerator.
Grass fed beef has high
protein and lower fat levels so the beef will usually require
30% less cooking time and will continue to cook when removed
from heat. For this reason, remove the beef from your heat
source 10 degrees before it reaches the desired temperature.
When grilling, sear the
meat quickly over a high heat on each side to seal in its
natural juices and then reduce the heat to medium or low to
finish the cooking process. Also, baste to add moisture
throughout the grilling process. Don't forget grass fed
beef requires 30% less cooking time so watch your thermometer
and don't leave your steaks unattended.
When roasting, sear the
beef first to lock in the juices and then place in a pre-heated
oven.
