Grass-Fed Beef
Grass-fed beef comes from cattle raised on a diet consisting primarily of grass and forage, such as pasture plants and hay. It is known for its rich, beefy flavor, which can have earthy, grassy, and slightly mineral notes that vary depending on the animal's diet, breed, and finishing practices. Compared with conventional grain-finished beef, grass-fed beef is often leaner, with less marbling and a firmer texture. Its flavor can range from mild and clean to more robust and pronounced. Grass-fed beef is versatile and can be used for steaks, roasts, ground beef, stews, and burgers. Because it is often leaner, careful cooking helps preserve its tenderness and juiciness.

Choosing
When choosing grass-fed beef, consider the cut, the amount of marbling, and how you plan to cook it. Look for beef with a fresh appearance, a consistent color, and no unpleasant odor. Some grass-fed beef is labeled 100% grass-fed, while other products may come from cattle that grazed on grass but were finished on grain. Check the label or ask the farmer about the animal's diet and finishing practices if these details matter to you. For quick-cooking methods, choose cuts with some marbling, such as ribeye or strip steak. Leaner cuts, such as sirloin and round, work well when cooked carefully or sliced thinly. Ground grass-fed beef is suitable for burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, and sauces.
