COOKING YOUR GRASS-FED MEAT
The most important part about cooking with any grass-fed meat is the cooking time.
It is cut up to 40% from the time for 'regular' meat. If you were to normally grill a steak for 10 minutes, you would want to pull the grass-fed steaks off at around 6 minutes to check to see if they are done.
Hi Kassandra,
I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying the lamb. It’s really great quality - texture and flavor.
So far I’ve made stews, broths, and chops; the variety of cuts and packages give me a lot of choices and ways to stretch the flavor into all kinds of dishes.
I’ll be ordering again from you; please continue to keep up the good farming!

The reason the cooking time is so drastically different lies in the fat content of the meat.
Grass-fed meat has less fat (and fewer calories) and therefore needs less time to cook.
It means less wasted fat in your drip pan and less heat wasted that is required to melt that fat.
You will be able to prepare tasty, tender, flavorful meals while wasting less and enjoying more!
Here are a few tips to remember when cooking or grilling with our cuts:
- Remember the time. Even a few minutes overcooking can really dry out ( and toughen) your meat, especially the smaller cuts.
- Cook with moisture. Add water, broth, butter, oil and cover your cuts to keep in the tenderness!
- Expect the meat to have texture. Our meat will not have the flabby, fat texture of conventional cuts but is real meat - just like your grandparents ate!
- To grill, sear outside of steaks at a high heat to keep juices in, finish cooking using a lower heat.
- We recommend cooking pork to an internal temp of between 140-150F ( USDA recommends 160-170F )
- We recommend cooking lamb to an internal temp of between 120-145F ( USDA recommends 145-170F )
- We recommend cooking beef to an internal temp of between 120-140F ( USDA recommends 145-170F )
