Why Do Grass Fed Meats Get Cooked Earlier?

 One of the major concerns when cooking grass fed meats is that they must not get overcooked. In any case, if the grass fed meats get overcooked, they only turn like a leather mass which is only good for a pair of shoes. It’s always emphasized that low and slow cooking is the key to preparing juicy and delicious grass fed steaks and meals. However, even with slow cooking, these meats get cooked earlier and you often end up over cooking these meats. So, why does that happen?

Well, the reason can be that you’re not tracking the time for cooking properly. Grass fed meats do get cooked earlier and that’s because they are leaner and thinner. Grass fed animals are given natural diets and they keep roaming the fields and pastures. So, their meats don’t have a very thick layer of fats. They have a lean texture. So, they get cooked earlier even when you’re cooking them slowly at lower temperatures. So, how do you prevent overcooking the meats?

Well, a good option would be to keep the temperature as low as 120F, and track the time. Generally, grass fed meats get cooked at least 5minutes earlier than the actual time taken for the regular, conventional, grain-fed meats to get cooked. So, putting the heat off five minutes earlier will ensure that the meats don’t get overcooked.

Follow this and you’ll never have to frown about grass fed meats getting cooked earlier and you can have the most delicious meals on your plate.
