H-E-B 100% Grass Fed & Finished Ground Beef, 16 oz
What it is
This is ground beef that comes from cattle that have eaten only grass throughout their entire lives, both while grazing and when being finished. This method of raising cattle is often chosen for its potential impact on the environment and the resulting flavor profile of the meat. The beef is packaged in a convenient 16-ounce size, suitable for a variety of meals.
How people cook with it
Ground beef is a versatile ingredient that forms the base of many popular dishes.
- Burgers
- Tacos
- Meatloaf
- Chili
To cook, simply brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess fat. You can then incorporate it into your chosen recipe. For dishes like tacos or chili, add seasonings and other ingredients directly to the skillet as the beef cooks. For burgers, form the beef into patties and cook them on a grill or in a pan until they reach your desired level of doneness.
How it differs from similar foods
Beef from grass-fed and grass-finished animals can have a different flavor compared to conventionally raised beef. It may have a more pronounced, sometimes slightly leaner, taste. The fat content can also vary, and the color of the meat might appear a bit more yellow due to the diet.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused ground beef in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Keep it refrigerated and use it within one to two days for optimal freshness. For longer storage, you can freeze the ground beef.
