To cook organic beef one has to remember to cook it somewhat differently than you would cook regular beef because of the lower fat content and more delicate flavor. When meat has little or no fat, heat is conducted much quicker and the meat can become very tough. To keep organic beef tender, it must be cooked slowly and at lower temperatures. For instance, if you are broiling organic grass fed beef, place it further away from the heat source or coals and cook it for a longer period of time.

Remember not to overcook the beef because even the tenderest cuts of beef will dry out and toughen up if you overdo the cooking. You should be aiming for a doneness of medium to rare. Another tip is if you finish the cooking process at a lower temperature, the beef will stay tender.

If you are a “well-done” type of person, don’t grill it at all, but cook it pot roast style at a low temperature for a longer period of time. Crock-pots and organic grass fed beef work well together, especially the less tender cuts such as chuck roasts or arm roasts.

Most good supermarkets will now give you the option to buy Organic Beef. It is usually a little more expensive than factory farmed beef but for good reason. Not only is the organic lifestyle better for you and your family but it is also an upgrade to the cattle’s lives as well. Eating organic is also beneficial to the environment. All of these reasons make organic beef well worth the price increase.

Once you learn the subtle differences between cooking organic beef compared to grass or grain fed beef, you will be able to easily incorporate this healthy option into your life. In fact, choosing organic beef from a sustainable farm may just be the best change you can make in your diet this year.
