LOW and SLOW....
That is our motto here at Circle C Farm
When cooking grass fed and grass finished meats, the most important thing to remember is to cook the meat LOW (at a low temperature) and SLOW (for the meat to cook slow)!
IF the heat is TOO HIGH or TOO HOT or you try and cook it TOO FAST, then the meat will end up dry, tough and chewy. NOT the meats fault.
* Our meats are leaner, with amazing flavor, BUT no "feedlot" fat development or marbling, so that is why your temps need to be lower. The natural marbling in our meats lend themselves to amazing flavors, so your meal will taste amazing.
You are actually working with the ONLY the soft meat, no preservatives no injected salt water solutions, no preservatives either.
