How To Cook Grass-Fed Beef Steaks

[ PRINT THIS RECIPE ]

Thaw your steak in the fridge (1-2 days). Before cooking, allow the steak to come to room temperature covered on the countertop (about 60 minutes). This prevents the meat from being shocked when you put it on the hot surface.

For cooking, a general rule of thumb is to cut the temperature down by at least 50 degrees. Sear on medium, then quickly move to low heat to slowly finish the cooking process. Unlike grain-fed beef, which requires a higher searing temperature, grass-fed beef sears beautifully on medium heat. The suggested internal cooking temperature for grass-fed beef is 120 - 140°F. This is lower than the USDA guidelines for beef which is 145 - 175°F.

Just remember, if you like your meat more on the medium to well-done side, make sure you turn the heat way down to allow the meat to cook slowly. Your patience will be rewarded. 

Happy Cooking!
