Grass-fed beef will cook aproximately 30% quicker to the same degree of doneness when compared with grain-fed beef. This is due to the favorable difference in the fatty acid profile.
 
Because grass-fed beef has more total unsaturated fatty acids than grain-fed beef, the fats have a lower melting point and will reach the same degree of doneness in 30% less time.
 
              

 

Hilltop Angus Grass Fed Beef is best enjoyed when cooked to a medium rare to medium degree of doneness. This would be an internal temperature range of 125 - 135 degrees F.

 

We suggest you use a high quality meat thermometer to assure that you aren't overcooking your grass-fed beef.

 

 

                         

 

These are just a few tips that we’ve found to be helpful when preparing a more healthy

and delicious meal for your family.

 

 

Do Not Over Cook

 

Grass-fed needs about 30% less cooking time than conventional beef. You may wish to use a meat thermometer and let it reach between 125 and 135 degrees for medium rare to medium well. Your meat will continue to cook somewhat when removed from heat.

 

Do Not Microwave

 

Do not cook when frozen or partially frozen.

Thaw in refrigerator or under cold water, never in a microwave.

 

Allow Steak to Reach Room Temperature Prior to Grilling.

 

Brush a little Olive Oil on meat before grilling to add extra moisture.

Experiment with your favorite marinade. We like to use garlic salt and various seasonings on our burgers and steaks.

Roasts and stews are best when braised and cooked at a low temperature very slowly. Most slow cookers cook too high even on low.

An enameled cast iron Dutch oven works well. Remember: LOW AND SLOW

 

Always use tongs to turn your meat…never a fork. Do not press the juices out of the meat.

 

Let meat rest after cooking.

After taking from heat always let your meat rest for 8 to 10 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat before serving.

 

Please remember overcooking will make you grassfed beef tough.  Grass-fed steaks are best eaten rare.
