Sustaining the flavour of grass fed beef

Cooking grass fed beef is a lot different to cooking grain fed beef for many reasons, but most people prefer grass fed meat due to its many benefits and its status as the ‘true beef.’ It is, therefore, highly important that grass fed beef is handled properly when being cooked; this will sustain the goodness and make the final meal restaurant-worthy.

The main reason grass fed beef is cooked differently is because of its fat content, which is also one of the main advantages of the meat itself. Cattle reared on grass tend to be healthier and produce meat which is lower in fat content, as well as being higher in beneficial Omega 3 acids.

The fact that grass fed beef has a lower fat content means it is sometimes susceptible to being too dry or sticking to the pan, so coating the beef in oil while it is being cooked is a good idea. This can also help enhance its delicious flavour. It is important to make sure the content of moisture is always high without taking away any of the natural flavouring.

A top tip when choosing which method to cook your beef is to consider which way will allow you to monitor the temperature most efficiently. Heat is an important factor in the cooking of grass fed beef, so it should be controlled at all times. As grass fed beef cooks quicker than ordinary beef due to its differing contents, cooking the perfect beef takes patience and practice.
