STEAK SALE?Grass-fed/grass-finished

Fire up the grill for this once a summer STEAK SALE (aka the Great Es-Steak Sale)

T-Bone, Sirloin, Porter House, KC, Filet Mignon, and Ribeye steaks are all 10% off through July 2^nd!

 

Our beef is always grass-fed and grass finished. All cattle are grass-fed at some point, but what matters most from a nutrition stand point is what the cattle eat in the ?finishing? stage. Our beef farmers consider themselves grass farmers, because the quality of the grasses they eat, lead to the quality of the finished beef. 

We carry beef from:

Three Spring Farms, Perryville, MO

Neuner Farms, Westphalia, MO

 

TIPS FOR COOKING GRASS-FED STEAK

Season it:  Coat your steak in a rub like Uncle Joe?s Rub Down or Captain Tony?s Wild Alaskan Rub or make your own with coarse sea salt, cracked pepper and minced garlic.  Rub on both sides and let steak come to room temp.

Coat in oil: Because grass-fed beef is low in fat, you may want to coat your grill or pan with extra virgin olive oil or another light oil for easy browning. Some use oil to coat the beef to prevent the meat from drying out and sticking to the cooking surface.

Sear it: Sear your steak for two minutes on each side over high heat to lock in flavor

Cook it: Lower the heat or move steak away from the flame and cook for about five minutes on each side to a perfect medium rare.  If measuring temperature, remove the steak when temp is at 125-130 degrees.  GRASS FED beef cooks about 30% faster than grain fed beef

Rest it:  Rest your steak for ten minutes after cooking before cutting into it.
