One that flies around quite often that rarely is addressed honestly is this. “What’s the difference between grass fed and grain fed beef and what does it mean to me?” What this really comes down to is what the cattle rancher is trying to accomplish for a finished product as well as the limitations of feed resources for that rancher. Range fed or “grass fed” beef can have a tremendous flavor depending on the variety of range grass the beef is grazing on and is considerably cheaper to raise. However, steaks from grass fed beef tend to be tougher because of the lack of fat content. This is not to say you should avoid it.
For myself, I keep a whole beef in our freezer from our range feed cattle. Grass feed beef has some great advantages, but understand that the preparation time is considerable longer. My wife prepares each roast and all steaks in a marinade for 24 to 48 hours. Otherwise these steaks tend to be tougher.
“Grain Fed” or “Grain Finished” beef are generally raised on a grass and grain feed mix depending on the ranchers preference. Given the amount of grain provided, breed, and activity of the cattle, will determine the fat content of the beef. Meaning your steaks will have a marbled affect within the grains of the steak or roast, providing a juicy, airy and tender steak. This is what most people desire and frankly so do I.
When I want a juicy, succulent steak without all the fancy preparation, I will always go for our Prime or Choice Grade beef. Because 95% of our customers prefer a higher grade Certified Black Angus Prime steaks or Premium USDA Choice Grade Steaks, that is what we provide. Because most customers are not familiar with cooking and preparation techniques of pure Grass Fed Beef, the chances are high that they will not be satisfied with end product. In the end, we want our customers to be extremely happy with their purchase, which is why we limit our offerings to Prime and Choice Beef and Steaks.
