You don’t have to be a gill master to enjoy amazing steaks. If you have an oven with a broiler, use these tips to cook your steaks to perfection. Remember, truly grassfed steaks cook up faster than conventionally raised steaks, so pay extra attention to your cook times.


Ingredients:

1-4 100% Grassfed beef steaks. This method works well for the following premium steaks:

Seasonings of your choice. Our staples are salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Truly grassfed steaks have an amazing flavor, so we avoid masking it with added seasonings.

Tools:

Oven with broiler

Broiler pan (best) or cookie sheet

Meat thermometer

Instructions:

  • Begin with fully thawed steaks. Allow steaks to come to room temperature. This takes about 1 hr. (Note: if this step makes you nervous about food safety, you can happily prep your steak while it is refrigerator cold.)
  • Pat steaks dry to remove moisture. Rub with salt, pepper, and seasonings and place on broiler pan.
  • Turn broiler on high. Position top rack ~ 6 inches away from upper heat element. This is usually the second spot provided.
  • Place broiler with steaks in the oven and cook to the appropriate internal temperature listed below. Anticipate the following cook time per side:

  • Rare (120-125 °F) 4 to 5 minutes, side one. 3 to 4 minutes, side two. 

  • Medium Rare (125-130 °F) 5 to 6 minutes, side one. 4 to 5 minutes, side two. 

  • Medium (130-135 °F ) 6 to 7 minutes, side one. 5 to 6 minutes, side two. 

  • *Important* After you cook your steaks and remove them from the heat source, the residual heat will cause them to continue to cook. Allow your steaks to “rest” by waiting 10 minutes before serving. The internal juices will redistribute, and the meat will continue to cook to your desired doneness.

  • Enjoy your steaks and note the amazing flavor only 100% grassfed meat offers.

Position the broiler rack about 6 inches below the heat source.

RECIPE: Cooking Pasture Raised Turkey

Before diving into the recipe details, there are two keys to success you want to adhere to when cooking pasture raised turkey vs “organic” or conventionally raised birds. 1) Plan to cook your bird at 325˚F for 12-15 min. per lb. 2) While the recommended safe cooking temperature of poultry is 165˚F, connoisseurs tell us that 145˚F is a better internal temperature to target. Your dark meat will be fully cooked, and the breast meat will be moist and delicious. Your pasture raised turkey will be incredibly delicious if you don’t overcook it.

RECIPE: Quiche for All Occasions

I think quiche is underappreciated in American homes. It is a super flexible dish that you can eat hot out of the oven, cold on a picnic, or pretty much anywhere in between. It is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and can basically be stuffed with anything you have on hand and be delicious!
