Simple Truth · 10 oz
This is a premium cut of beef, specifically a strip steak, sourced from Angus cattle that have been raised exclusively on a grass-fed and grass-finished diet. This means the cattle grazed on pasture throughout their lives, without being supplemented with grains. The beef is known for its rich flavor and marbling, which contributes to its tenderness and juiciness when cooked properly. It is a single portion, typically around 10 ounces, making it suitable for one or two servings.
Beef strip steak is a versatile cut that can be prepared in many ways, from simple pan-searing to grilling.
To prepare, allow the steak to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper. For pan-searing, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the steak for a few minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness. For grilling, preheat your grill to high heat and cook for a similar amount of time, flipping once. Resting the steak for 5-10 minutes after cooking is crucial for retaining its juices.
Grass-fed and finished beef often has a slightly leaner profile and a more pronounced, earthy flavor compared to grain-finished beef. The marbling may be less intense, but the natural diet contributes to a distinct taste that many appreciate.
Home cooks looking for a high-quality beef steak with a natural feeding background.
Refrigerate the steak immediately upon purchase. It is best used within 1-2 days. If you do not plan to cook it within that timeframe, you can freeze it, tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in a freezer-safe bag, for up to several months.
