Some basic industry knowledge for discussing steaks.
*Grass fed, refers to beef that has not been grain finished. Grass fed is only a tiny fraction of the beef on the commercial market.
I know that it is possible to get a tender, juicy steak from grass fed beef, but that is the exception, not the rule. For the most part, grass fed beef will be dryer, tougher and slightly gamey tasting when compared to it’s grain finished counterpart.
Some people prefer grass fed beef. I won’t argue with them, To each his own.
this would explain why the quarter my daughter and her boyfriend bought sucked. it tasted like bad deer meat. they had hundreds of pounds of it. i tried to be nice to the boyfriend because his friend raised it but i told my daughter not to bring us any steaks anymore.
