Grass Fed Beef Taste

BoaMan · Dec 8, 2009

I just picked up a 1/4 side of 100% grass fed Black Angus. About 130lbs of meat. I had never had grass fed beef before this. It's definitely a different taste. Not really sure how to explain it. Stronger taste... gamier maybe? I'm not sure I really like it yet, but I'll get use to it.

Just curious if you guys thought the same thing the first time you tried it?

Its all just a matter of what your used to. I've always eaten grass fed beef so for me when I travel to the US I always think the steaks are shitty... I think its just that I'm not used to eating corn feed beef.

I've only tried the liver and ground beef so far. I loved the liver. The burger will take some getting use to. I think the next time I buy I will try a different farmer to see if there is a difference. Tonight I am going to try some steaks.

Funny thing is, my family likes it and don't think it's a stronger taste.

Ya, it tastes very different than corn fed beef. And it tastes a lot leaner. It tastes like 4% beef but its more like 10%. I love the stuff. I just add some taco seasoning and its good to go.

What do You do with 130lbs of beef...? Freeze for a bit...? I read that & was like wow I only go through 1-2lbs a day(sometimes a little over 2)

Yes...Definitely a different taste...much leaner and cleaner tasting...not really better tasting in my opinion but better for u. Taste tests done on consumers show that almost all who were tested preferred the taste of corn fed beef.

ITS GREAT

I just picked up 100 plus lbs myself. I have eaten it for almost 3 years. When I eat regular hamburger now it tastes like a pile of thick grease...nasty...

I do have to agree here. I don't taste the thick grease.
