Cooking with Grassfed Beef
Grassfed beef is typically leaner than grocery store beef. And, because there are more polyunsaturated fats (the good kind of fat), which have a lower melting point, you will want to cook grassfed beef at a lower temperature. When grilling, we recommend you forego the inferno, unless its to quickly sear each side, and instead use a medium heat.
Steaks
Sear the steaks on high heat, both sides, and then continue cooking on a lower temperature to no more than a level of medium doneness. Then remove them to a plate and cover with aluminum foil until ready to serve.
Gourmet Grassfed Galloway KC Strip Roast from Renaissance Farms |
The fine-grained Galloway roast is a treat. To cook, place thawed roast in pot with tight-fitting lid. Cut up some of your favorite veggies, like carrots, potatoes and onions, and tuck them in with the roast. A dash of salt and pepper too. Then add 1 to 1-1/2 cup of water, broth, wine, beer (your call) to the roast and veggies. Secure the lid and place in 325 oven for 3 to 4 hours. Depending on the size of the pot, and the roast, you may want to add another 1/2 to 1 cup of water. The beef will be fork tender when done, and delicious beyond any roast you’ve ever eaten!
