    Acclimate for a Good Steak

    May 17, 2016

    Steaks: Grain vs. Grass Fed You need to acclimate your meat for a good steak. Because steak is one of the items I will pay a little extra, for good quality, I take particular steps to ensure I am getting the best flavor, juiciness and tenderness for my money. I will spend more for grain fed meat, when I can find it. Grain-fed Beef Pasture-raised, grazes on grass Later, fed hearty, rich-in-nutrients grain The most flavorful and highest quality beef available, with superior marbling and texture Top chefs agree, grain-fed beef tastes better and is the preferred choice of steak-lovers everywhere Chart courtesy of Omaha Steaks Grass-fed Beef Pasture-raised, grazes…
