What makes grassfed fajita meat different from conventional fajita meat?
Grassfed fajita meat is made from grassfed cattle that are raised on a diet of 100% grass, while conventional fajita meat is often made from conventionally raised cattle that are fed a diet of grains and soy. This leads to differences in the nutritional profile of the meat, with grassfed fajita meat being lower in unhealthy fats and higher in healthy fats and essential nutrients.
COOKING TIPS
- Be sure your steak is completely thawed.
- Bring the meat to room temperature. Remove your steak from the refrigerator 30-40 minutes before cooking.
- Resting steak is also important because the heat of cooking pulls the juices in the meat toward the surface; if you slice into it immediately after cooking, those flavorful juices will end up on your plate, not in your steak. Allowing your steak to rest will give the juices time to sink back in and throughout the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
- We recommend cooking your steak to no more than medium rare.
- Use a meat thermometer - and remove from heat at 125 degrees.
- Always slice against the grain
