Cook grass-fed beef with confidence.

Choose your cut. Match your method.

A quick-seared steak and a slow-braised roast need different approaches. Start with the cut, follow a reliable recipe, and use a food thermometer.

A few essentials for a good meal

Start with the cut

Follow a recipe suited to your steak, roast, or ground beef. Cooking time varies with thickness, equipment, and the cut; a thermometer is more useful than a fixed timing rule.

Handle with care

Thaw beef in the refrigerator. Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods, wash hands and utensils after handling it, and marinate in the refrigerator.

Use safe temperatures

USDA recommends cooking beef steaks and roasts to at least 145°F, followed by a rest of at least three minutes. Cook ground beef to 160°F. Use a food thermometer rather than color to check doneness, and follow package directions for mechanically tenderized beef.
