Questions about Grass-fed ground beef
How do you cook grass-fed ground beef without drying it out?
Cook it over medium rather than fierce heat, and stop as soon as it is browned and cooked through; frequent stirring helps it cook evenly. Because the fat content varies, avoid draining it unless the pan has more fat than you want.
What temperature should grass-fed ground beef reach?
For mince, cook it until the centre reaches 71 °C, since grinding can carry bacteria through the meat. Check a burger or meatball with a food thermometer rather than judging by colour alone.
How do you make burgers with grass-fed ground beef?
Shape the mince gently into patties without compressing it, make a shallow hollow in the centre, and season the outside just before cooking. Turn once, and cook the centre to 71 °C.
What can you make with grass-fed ground beef?
Use it for cottage pie, chilli con carne, meatballs, bolognese sauce or tacos. Brown it first, breaking it into small pieces for sauces and fillings; for meatballs, handle it lightly so they stay tender.
Can you freeze grass-fed ground beef?
Yes. Freeze it in a flat, well-wrapped portion as soon as possible, then thaw it in the fridge and cook promptly; flattening the pack helps it thaw more evenly.
How long does grass-fed ground beef keep in the fridge?
Keep it chilled and use it within one or two days of buying, or freeze it if you will not cook it by then. Store it covered on the lowest shelf so juices cannot drip onto other food.
Is grass-fed ground beef leaner than ordinary ground beef?
Not necessarily: the amount of fat depends on the cut and how it is minced, not just the animal’s diet. In the supplied comparison, ground beef has 15 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 18 g in grass-fed ground beef.
