Clean Comfort Cooking with New Morning Market

Grass fed cows free-roam the fields of their ranches and eat a diet of fresh grass. Grass fed and grass finished beef, like Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed 100% Grass Fed Beef, are never fed grain of any kind, resulting in less marbling of the meat and a more rich and natural flavor. 

The flavor and texture of grass fed beef is enhanced by special cooking techniques such as reverse searing steaks, braising roasts and stew cuts, and using high heat for grilling or pan-frying burgers. 

The experts in our meat department are available to help you find the perfect cut and walk you through their pro cooking tips. We’ve also gathered some expert info from our partners at Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed 100% Grass Fed Beef as well as our favorite tried and true recipes to share with you. 

Happy Cooking!
