The Best Way To Prepare Grassfed Steaks

Post by Chris Baggott
Jul 26 2022
The Fat in Grass-Finished Beef has a much lower melting temperature than Grain-finished so some care is important, especially when grilling. I prefer to lock in extra moisture with a simple Dry-Brine. Using a quality salt, just coat the steaks liberally and put them in the refrigerator for as little as 4 hours, and as long as a couple of days. I typically dry-brine in a Ziplock bag either the night before or the morning I'm planning on cooking them. It's really simple and will store a lot of moisture. Thanks for supporting Tyner Pond Farm!
