If you’re buying organic beef for the first time, don’t worry: you don’t have to sacrifice great taste to go organic. But you should keep a few things in mind when you start treating yourself and your family to high-quality organic meats:

Grass-fed or grain-finished beef?  Grain-finished beef has a more traditional marbled look and steakhouse flavor. Grass-fed beef is absolutely delicious, with a leaner taste profile and more “good fats” that benefit your health.

Lean or hearty? If lean is your top priority, consider organic top sirloin. Organic New York Strip is also lean, but with a little more hearty steakhouse flavor, ideal if you’re grilling for a health-conscious crowd. Organic rib eyes and organic Porterhouse or T-bone steaks will satisfy the heartiest appetites.

Casual or elegant? Organic filet mignon makes a truly elegant, unforgettable main course. Meltingly tender and beautifully cut, the filet is a celebration of good taste. We usually recommend organic New York Strips for a festive barbecue. First, it’s easy to grill multiple New York Strips at once. Second, although they have a lot of flavor, they’re not overwhelmingly large or rich, so they’re surefire crowd pleasers.

If you’re a steak lover who’s making the move to organic beef, you should buy the cut of steak you love best. Choose organic beef and you’ll not only get great flavor – you’ll also enjoy peace of mind, knowing you’re making a good choice for your health and the planet.
