3How is the beef prepared?
Our beef dry is aged for a minimum of 14 days, USDA inspected and processed, packaged, then moved to the blast freezer at -30 degrees F. This allows the beef to be frozen quickly so that the water does not crystalize, preventing freezer burn.

5Do you cook grass fed beef different than regular beef?
Yes! Generally grass fed beef requires 30% less cooking time and will continue to cook when removed from heat. This beef is intended for rare to medium-rare cooking. If you like well-done beef, then cook at very low temperatures in a sauce to help add/retain moisture. The number one reason for tough grass-fed beef is from overcooking.
