After reading all the recent discussions on grass fed beef I felt like I needed to at least eat some and see what if anything I might be missing. A friend bought several grass fed steaks from Whole Foods in Birmingham and brought them down for "reasearch". They were a little more red than cornfed and had almost no marbling. The fat was white which surprised me because I thought only corn fed had white fat. Anyway we cooked them on the grill until they were rare and dug in.
They were slightly tuff with a hint of gameness neither of which I found to be awful. There was a slight texture difference due the lack of fat. I had expected them to be terrible but they were better than expected. I give them a 6.8 on a scale of 1 to 10. Most corn fed steaks would get 8 but I occasionally get a 7 and twice I had a 10.
Is this typical of the flavor of the grass fed? Can you get grass fed in prime or choice?
