The hottest trend among the carnivore cognoscenti is organic and grass-fed beef. Certified organic cows eat pesticide- and herbicide-free feed. Grass-fed cows (as opposed to industry-standard corn-fed) are free of hormones and chemicals, but not always organic. The beef is leaner and filled with heart-friendly omega-3 fatty acids.
Step1
Inquire with your local butcher, or ask your favorite steak house if it uses natural beef. If it does, ask for the farm's information.
Step2
Call cattle farms. Grass-fed beef is usually sold directly through small ranchers. A quarter includes steaks, short ribs, pot roast, ground beef and stew meat for $200 to $350.
Step3
Shop for beef online. Prather Ranch (pratherranch.com) is a great source for all-natural organic beef, or try grass-fed beef from Chileno Ranch (chilenobeef.com).
Step4
Look for grass-fed beef seasonally, in late spring and early summer.
Step5
Buy meat that's grown on a lot inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and dry-aged, vacuum-packed, frozen and shipped in insulated boxes with adequate refrigeration.
