Beef Recipes
Organic or grass-fed beef is worth seeking out. Organic meats are raised without hormones or antibiotics, whereas grass-fed cattle are allowed to eat grass and other pasture--their natural diet--instead of given feed made mainly from corn. The resulting meat has a more intense, and varied, flavor than the corn-fed beef most of us are used to. Carefully-raised, organic beef tends to be well-marbled, high-quality meat that requires only simple preparations to highlight its deep flavor.
