Here are some cooking tips to best enjoy your tasty, healthy Highland Beef!

STEAKS AND BURGERS

1. Remember grass-fed beef us meant for Rare to Medium Rare cooking.
2. Don’t overcook! The primary culprit for tough grass-fed beef is overcooking.
3. If frozen, don’t microwave. To quickly unthaw, place vacuum-sealed package in refrigerator or place in a pan of tap water.
4. Grass-fed beef requires 30% less cooking time – when cooking frequently use the touch test.
5. When grilling, sear the steak quickly (20-30 seconds) over high heat on each side to seal in its natural juices. After searing, reduce the heat to medium or low and then try 3-4 minutes for the first side and 2-3 minutes for the second.
6. Remember you can always go back to the grill if your steak is too Rare but not vice-versa.

ROASTS

1. For roasts, reduce the temperature of your grain-fed beef recipes by 50 degrees (generally to about 275 degrees F for roasting).
2. Use a thermometer to test for doneness and watch the thermometer carefully.
3. Remove the roast from your heat source 10 degrees before it reaches the desired temperature (we like 115-125 degrees).
