Best steak I ever had was in Germany and it turned out to be grass fed from Argentina. The waiter said they wouldn't dream of using German or US beef. The flavor was mind boggling. It made me realize that most steaks served in America are lousy. Then, I read that Argentine beef is illegal to import to America. No surprise there. Meanwhile, that amazing Argentine steak haunts my dreams.
I have had that, too. I did think it was weird to have to agree to pay no matter how it turned out - which seemed a bit fishy - but the steak was wonderful. It turns out that cows, an herbivore that is called an ungulate, don't normally eat grain, and so their stomachs have some difficulty digesting grain. This is the "cow fart" excuse which opponents of dealing with Global Warming come up with occasionally, when carbon restrictions are mentioned. So the cows, under stress but full of nutrients, grow marbling in the meat(a survival mechanism) and taste a lot different. This marbling is basically fat cells, which fix some trace elements, some that are undesirable. This is why the process is unliked in many places. The experience of eating in restaurants outside the US is a thing that more Americans should experience. Tony Bourdain's show had the right idea; you are letting yourself down, if not hurting yourself, by not going outside of the US and traveling - and eating all that great food!
I'm wondering what the difference is. Maybe the type of grass they are eating? There are many different types of grass around the world. Have you had a USDA Prime beef in a high end steak house? Or how about a cow raised by the owner? I have had friends that owned their own cows and they told me that the meat from the cows they raised a LOT better than the crap you get in a typical grocery store. Not all US Beef is bad, it's just probably more with the larger beef suppliers is where the problems are.
Yeah Argentina has the best cow meat in the world, if you come to Buenos Aires you can probably get something much better than what you ate that day in Germany for less than 15U$D. The quality of the grains and grass that feeds our cows is just insane, it's just natural because the soil all around the center and a bit to the north of the country are extremely fertile and because of humidity and weather we dont need to put that much pestiside and shit over the fields, so that's about as close to raw natural taste as it'll ever get.
The guy in tan is right, growing up on a farm with a few cattle they would typically be butchered 12-18 months old. They would be on pasture grass most of their life but then 4-6 month before butchering we would separate them and grain feed them to add marbling and fat.
Lol, you should try Worcestershire steak it's very good, just get a 5 lb thing of ground beef and a bottle of Worcestershire sauce and make steak size patties and shape them really good and have the temperature on the stove set at medium with a cover and pour a good amount of Worcestershire sauce on them and let it cook till medium done and keep splashing Worcestershire sauce on them and flipping the steaks over back and forth every few minutes and you'll basically end up using the whole bottle of Worcestershire sauce and the steak is done and it's very tender with a good flavor and is good with grilled onions and scallop potatoes on the side
I had friends who went to Argentina for summer school. They borrowed a ton of money to go, not realizing how cheap it was to eat and do other things compared to here. They all said they had the best steaks they had ever eaten, along with quality wines, and it never cost them more than $8 at dinner.
We grew up eating venison so for me, I really like the grass fed. More meaty. A heavily marbled steak is good but I don't mind a little more firm of a texture for a more robust flavor. I do think you could give them some oats or some other grain that doesn't screw up their stomachs and kind of get the best of both worlds. little more fat and richness while still maintaining the flavorful meatiness. Ground grass fed at like 85%-90% makes one hell of a medium / medium rare burger.

I want in on a highland grassfed with a buddy. I found it earthy or gamey or irony in the beginning. My bud suggested to start with the burger in meals, like sauces and or stir fry etc. It took my girlfriend and I a good 5 months (with more hosted bbq's than normal) to get through that bunch of meat. About 3 weeks in, I didn't taste the iron. I tasted flavor! Mad flavor! This became even more apparent when we ran out and had to go back to grocery store beef. The more frequent hosting bbq's were because we wanted our friends to try this awesome meat. It is to this day, the best meat (oohh the t-bone) I have ever had. It was really cool too because we might have ended up paying a lot for our burger, but boy did we save on the fine cuts.
Alberta beef is considered among the best in world and is my personal favorite. Alberta beef is grass fed for the majority and finished on Alberta barley with a little wheat. It gives it the good iron meaty flavour, keeps it incredibly tender, good marbling, natural. Everything you want in a steak.
Absolutely correct! Grass-fed/finished beef is so much more healthier. Higher in Omega 3's and minerals, which is terribly lacking in the American diet. You need to age it to achieve tenderness and flavor. It doesn't need to be 45 days. 20-30 days is satisfactory
It’s not that much healthier. Most beef is raised on pastures and fed grass or hay until it’s time to fatten them up and get that marbling at the end, which they are put on grains.
I worked on a Quarter Horse ranch growing up and my family would buy a steer every year at auction and we'd raise it ourselves primarily on grass and the 1st time I had a steak after butchering it I almost got sick. The meat was SO rich and different from what I had been raised on from the grocery store it was like an entirely different animal. (Probably didn't help that the steak was bigger than my head...lol...and cooked on an open flame over a campfire!) Chickens my ex-in-laws used to raise were the same. Completely free-range and fed very, very well. They were absolutely delicious. They'd raise 100 every year and we'd buy at least 25 for ourselves. Miss the chickens more than the ex or her family!
Only if it's grass fed and the grass was 100% organic and the water it drank is non fluoride And the grass was Not fed w/ synthetic sunlight, THEN it's considered clean... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Grain finished beef is better .. hands down . I grew up on a beef farm .. even the deer in the state I live in (Minnesota) has better tasting venison in the farm part of the state in which they eat lots of corn and soy. The grass fed craze is an example conspicuous consumption and mass placebo effect. They may be healthier to consume but they don't taste better .
I definitely like the taste of corn finished beef better. "Corn fed" is a kind of dumb term because the majority of their diet is not corn, except for a fattening period at the end. I don't like the minerally taste of "grass fed". Grass fed loses the unpleasant flavor when you slow cook/ braise it like a pot roast
Thank you Matthew for your comment. People shouldn’t be educating themselves just on JRE. I enjoy the podcast but enjoy only 50% of the guests. Do these guys work in agriculture. Did they study some form of agricultural field in college?
Depends on the day and what you want. You might have a wine and side dishes that compliment grass fed, making it more enjoyable. Musnroom and terrior flavors have subtle complexities that potato and grilled veg side dishes don't usually achieve
Couldn't agree more. People in the comments are talking about how supposedly grass-fed beef is better because of Omega threes or some bullshit. Shows they don't know how these animals are raised. All cattle start as grass fed it's only the end of their cycle that they switch to grain. I will never understand how these people try to claim so much with their food without actually knowing where it comes from or how hard it is to raise.
@@ecgodsmack86 Yeah and it's really only the last couple weeks of their life or so. I was born and raised in the Midwest (Iowa) and I can tell you that some of the only things we miss after moving away are the quality of the grain-fed steaks and those damned Iowa tenderloins/sweet corn. Outside of specifically raised beef like Kobe where they are watching each cow I would put up Midwestern beef against any other meat in the world. Also it doesn't hurt them as much as people like to proclaim it does and moreover they actually really enjoy eating it. It's like a treat before the end almost.
Yeah chefs have no idea what they're talking about right? Only people that grow beef how IBP tells them to know better. Btw my local beef guy can get his grassfed to marble just as your 4h cornfed but the fat tastes way better and the meat is much beefier.
Joe, you all left out one crucial point comparing grass fed to grain fed: nutritional profile. Grass fed has almost as much Omega 3 as Wild Salmon much more than corn fed.
The answer is both . All cows are “ grass” fed . Some are then fed a supplemented grain diet a short time before slaughter to increase fat content . Crazy wagyu or cobie are very young and have restricted movement and increased grain diets . A cow is designed to digest grass , not grain . If you fed a cow only corn it would die a painful death in a very short time .
The biggest concern with corn fed is that most of the corn is GMO. Grass (turf) is generally not GMO. Also be mindful of pesticides used in modern farming.
The problem is not if grain fed beef makes better all around finish product, the problem is beef is not meant to eat grain only and the animal gets sick and has to be injected with all sorts antibiotics, that why grain fed beef is wrong....this conversation is totally missing the point, useless info......
We used to feed out our steers for 30 days. It was a good balance. Really good flavor and added about 100 pounds. Most feed lots do 3 to 4 months. Grain fed isn't what most people think. You can free range cattle and give them a pound of grain at dusk every day. or you could feed 5 pounds of grain a day for 30 days. People seem to think its one or the other without any variation in between.
My cousin has a ranch in southern Or literally free range, he won't eat steak from his own ranch, he just dosent care for the flavor. Its all grass-fed. I told him this year lets bring one into a fenced field, so we can grain feed it for a couple of months.
Maybe he has the wrong grass. The grass type effects the flavor. I heard that fescue makes the meat taste horrible. The Bearded Butchers mentioned that in a video comparing grass finished to corn finished.
i've had both and would definitely take grass fed any day. the best i've ever had was beef that had come from animals that had never known anything but free, hilly ranges and wild grass
That's my argument too. I don't understand how someone could eat the beef of a cow that hasn't seen the outside and only been fed grain that they aren't meant to eat.
@steak.66 Yes they are meant to eat it. Cattle love grains. Btw cattle that exist today was never wild. There is no wild cattle, Buffalo yes. These are domesticated breeds.
We raised our beef on grass for Sumer and a mix of silage,chopped corn, and chopped hay, we mixed in large mixer trucks,with oats and protein mixed in for winter feed, then back to grass pasture for Sumer, then to sale barn in fall
All I know is that grass fed butter is better. I live in Ireland, I didn't even know that butter could be that white-yellow colour you can get in america
like a month penned high pprotein, good hay to fatten em up and get that marbling right and that gamey taste out. i had a goat get into an onion path and fuuuck the meat was weird af
The grass only definitely makes them gamey. We always fed small portions of variety fruits/veggie treats and hay throughout the entire time. Grown for our family and extended family. Best tasting in my opinion.
Prime Beef is Prime Beef. Maybe slightly different flavors. They left out a few steps. (I grew up on a farm, 600 head - grass fed Spring, Summer and Fall, silage fed in winter - no real way around it but still "free range"). Many cattle are raised on farms like ours was but then sold at market. Sometimes to the slaughterhouses but sometimes to people that fattened them up and sold them for more profit in more confined areas, corn and other grains). Their meat sells higher, and is probably better tasting (higher fat content - sounds bad but look at Wagyu and it is highest of all). It wasn't something you can control as a small farmer. Free range is the only realistic path for the little guy. In the US we have three grades, Prime is the best, but most expensive.
I lived in Australia for over a decade most of their beef was grass-fed it taste like shit corn fed beef is way better it's not just a tenderness the marbling of fat is way better these chefs just feel that grass-fed is better and nothing more. The best beef in the world is generally in Japan and is beautifully marbled not grass-fed
Jay Zandegiacomo I have even seen documentaries where they give the cows beer in Japan to keep them relaxed and having a high appetite to eat more and fatten up.. I have also saw they play classical music some days to relax the cows.. it’s crazy the extent they go to make this beef..who knows if it actually works but it’s for sure interesting
I never got the hype about dry aged beef, it's stupid expensive and in my opinion doesn't make that big of a difference in flavor/TENDERNESS in comparison to how much more expensive it is.
True.I love markdown steaks as long as their not discolored or smelly.50% off and better imo than super fresh bloody steaks that have too much iron taste.
The way my local butcher does it is grass fed but finished with either corn or grain they’re very well taken care of and the meat is always a vibrant dark red with beautiful marbling and a flavour that’ll make your knees give out 😋
Quality breed, farmed by quality farmer, fed on quality grass will taste like beef should. Any deficiency in the above, grain fed will somewhat make up that deficiency.
I deliver livestock feed and some "grass fed" beef is grain fed most of it's life and just briefly finished on grass. The grass fed distinction is soooo shady. You could be eating feedlot beef while singing the praise of "grass fed" beef and paying a premium. If it's something you're really concerned with I'd say do your research and try to visit farms. A lot of the fancy marketing terms that people buy into don't mean much. There is something to be said for quality beef but it's not 100% based on it's diet.
@@vadianx - I know that's the common info on the internet and I'm sure a lot of places do that. My limited experience would be always pasture raised so there is always the option of forage but still grain fed and they'll grow big and fat. Then cut out the grain and increase forage for a short time. I'm sure it leans them out a little but I think it's meant to add some sort of legitimacy to I guess? I dunno. I'm not the authority and they don't usually want to talk about it but I'm still delivering grain to grass fed beef farms. The marketing just seems incredibly dishonest to me.
Matt Kandel Great info, thanks for sharing the word. Luckily I live in ND where my uncle farms angus and Hereford and Aunt’s boyfriend has an elk farm. Delicious home grown protein that definitely tastes way different than the store bought or said “grass fed” crap.
yeah its the fancy marketing terms that trick a lot of us, like for eggs to be called " cage free" they only got to have a door open to the outside for only 5 minutes a day.....that's like saying if you get yard time in prison you are cage free lol
The most distinctive difference is the vitamin content in grass fed vs grain fed. Much more vitamin ADEK (fat soluble vitamins) and omega 3 in grass fed🤦♂️. Wish they discussed this a little.
It's how it's finished before slaughter. It's all grass and hay fed, but when it comes to finishing the cow, grain fed gives you better flavor and marbling than if it's grass finished. Grass finished is cheaper to do, and grass finished is also more budget minded with less marbling in the meat.
Grass fed tastes better and packs more of a nutritional punch. 100% grass fed can be kind if squishy so get grass fed and grain finished. The grain adds firmness to the meat.
@@gregrohs6688 oh you're not saying 100% has a grain fed component to it at all. You're just saying get grass Fred grain finished, as opposed to 100% grass fed. My mistake. So where do you find the grass Fred/finished? At Whole Foods, I've seen only either, or
@@moviedude22 wholefoods has it. In fact most grass fed beef at wholefoods isnt 100% grassfed because of the firmness factor. I ran a wholefoods meat dept a number of years ago and would complain about the firmness of the meat. Unless it specifically says 100% grass fed its grain finished.
to me it depends on the cut. i prefer a grass fed prime rib, skirt meat, loin. then i prefer a grain finished porterhouse, sirloins, brisket, etc. also depends what i a prepairing the meat for...grille, stew, oven etc

Thank you Matthew for your comment. People shouldn’t be educating themselves just on JRE. I enjoy the podcast but enjoy only 50% of the guests. Do these guys work in agriculture. Did they study some form of agricultural field in college?
U are a idiot
@@wesleybullock814 enlightening stuff there Wesley!
Depends on the day and what you want. You might have a wine and side dishes that compliment grass fed, making it more enjoyable. Musnroom and terrior flavors have subtle complexities that potato and grilled veg side dishes don't usually achieve
@@butcherbyrd good. More.flavor
The overtalker says, “Some will like the grass fed, others will like the corn fed.” Hmmmmmm....
4H people laughing at the suggestion that grass fed is even close to the same level as grain fed, molasses finish.
Couldn't agree more. People in the comments are talking about how supposedly grass-fed beef is better because of Omega threes or some bullshit. Shows they don't know how these animals are raised. All cattle start as grass fed it's only the end of their cycle that they switch to grain. I will never understand how these people try to claim so much with their food without actually knowing where it comes from or how hard it is to raise.
@@chasm5227 So one is grass fed entirely and the other twords the end is fattened up with grain.
@@ecgodsmack86 Yeah and it's really only the last couple weeks of their life or so. I was born and raised in the Midwest (Iowa) and I can tell you that some of the only things we miss after moving away are the quality of the grain-fed steaks and those damned Iowa tenderloins/sweet corn. Outside of specifically raised beef like Kobe where they are watching each cow I would put up Midwestern beef against any other meat in the world. Also it doesn't hurt them as much as people like to proclaim it does and moreover they actually really enjoy eating it. It's like a treat before the end almost.
Yeah chefs have no idea what they're talking about right? Only people that grow beef how IBP tells them to know better.
Btw my local beef guy can get his grassfed to marble just as your 4h cornfed but the fat tastes way better and the meat is much beefier.
@@chasm5227 Why take it so personally that some people prefer grassfed? Like it's some personal assault on your way of liiife or something. Lol
My whole life I thought cows just ate grass. I learn so much watching Joe “hey Jamie” Rogan.
Do you know what documentary they were talking about
Fred Morin & David McMillan
Honestly why does this channel never put the names in either the title or description
Joe, you all left out one crucial point comparing grass fed to grain fed: nutritional profile. Grass fed has almost as much Omega 3 as Wild Salmon much more than corn fed.
Dude grass fed does not have almost as much omega 3 as Wild salmon lmao... it has a better omega 3 - 6 profile than grain fed though
I don’t give. A shit about vitamins from my steak, I eat a steak to eat delicious food
@@gameofbros4728 shut up bitch

Lmfao you 2 are silly 🙃

I like how they keep ignoring the guy on the right lol
"I prefer that taste"
"Correct!"
Im not biased at all.
Are you biased? Correct.
I'm a meat seller and I could literally go on for fuckin' hours about this particular subject.
Blakey S. so then what's your preference? Grass fed or grain fed?
United we stand divided we fall cock-fed
Write a book about it
Which one is better?
The answer is both . All cows are “ grass” fed . Some are then fed a supplemented grain diet a short time before slaughter to increase fat content . Crazy wagyu or cobie are very young and have restricted movement and increased grain diets . A cow is designed to digest grass , not grain . If you fed a cow only corn it would die a painful death in a very short time .
Doing Yoga after eating a steak. Joe's wants it all. 😂
I need to eat at a restaurant like this dudes. He seems very passionate
The biggest concern with corn fed is that most of the corn is GMO. Grass (turf) is generally not GMO. Also be mindful of pesticides used in modern farming.
According to who? pesticides and man-made fertilisers aren't used on grass?
I bet your Also anti-vacs and anti-nuclear power
Feeding cows grain/corn loses a lot of the health benefit of the meat.
@@thephilosopher5799 really because it taste good?
There is nothing wrong with GMO. Don't get your news from the ant-science left.
The problem is not if grain fed beef makes better all around finish product, the problem is beef is not meant to eat grain only and the animal gets sick and has to be injected with all sorts antibiotics, that why grain fed beef is wrong....this conversation is totally missing the point, useless info......
We used to feed out our steers for 30 days. It was a good balance. Really good flavor and added about 100 pounds. Most feed lots do 3 to 4 months. Grain fed isn't what most people think. You can free range cattle and give them a pound of grain at dusk every day. or you could feed 5 pounds of grain a day for 30 days. People seem to think its one or the other without any variation in between.
“I love your shirt joe!” = nobody
My cousin has a ranch in southern Or literally free range, he won't eat steak from his own ranch, he just dosent care for the flavor. Its all grass-fed. I told him this year lets bring one into a fenced field, so we can grain feed it for a couple of months.
Why would u want to grain feed it?
@@kungfukenny8098 because it will put on fat, ask any chef, fat= flavor.
Maybe he has the wrong grass. The grass type effects the flavor. I heard that fescue makes the meat taste horrible. The Bearded Butchers mentioned that in a video comparing grass finished to corn finished.
Grass fed beef is very flavourful to me
i've had both and would definitely take grass fed any day. the best i've ever had was beef that had come from animals that had never known anything but free, hilly ranges and wild grass
That's my argument too. I don't understand how someone could eat the beef of a cow that hasn't seen the outside and only been fed grain that they aren't meant to eat.
@steak.66 so hippy fact free nonsensical argument. Lol
@steak.66 Yes they are meant to eat it. Cattle love grains. Btw cattle that exist today was never wild. There is no wild cattle, Buffalo yes. These are domesticated breeds.
this is a conversation i will never have ever.
What documentary is Joe referring to??
Grass fed or grass finished?
Crazy corn fed is awesome
We raised our beef on grass for Sumer and a mix of silage,chopped corn, and chopped hay, we mixed in large mixer trucks,with oats and protein mixed in for winter feed, then back to grass pasture for Sumer, then to sale barn in fall
What’s the steak documentary joe was referring too?
All I know is that grass fed butter is better. I live in Ireland, I didn't even know that butter could be that white-yellow colour you can get in america
Irish butter is way better, love the kerrygold brand
They put food coloring in it retard.
We always took the cow off grass and put it on grain about 3 weeks before slaughter. The grass seems to make it gamey.
like a month penned high pprotein, good hay to fatten em up and get that marbling right and that gamey taste out.
i had a goat get into an onion path and fuuuck the meat was weird af
The grass only definitely makes them gamey. We always fed small portions of variety fruits/veggie treats and hay throughout the entire time. Grown for our family and extended family. Best tasting in my opinion.
@Simon Farre elk backstraps are fucking awesome
@Justin B Same here. My dad always said grass fed beef makes good hamburger meat, but a steak you can't eat.
Belle Vi, I bet corn fed elk / moose would be delicious
Thought there's be an actual health discussion here
I’m on a JRE marathon. Trying to go to sleep and now I want a fat steak.
Why is nobody talking about the fact that it is grass fed, grain finished. Just saying 🤔
guy was but getting ignored
Prime Beef is Prime Beef. Maybe slightly different flavors. They left out a few steps. (I grew up on a farm, 600 head - grass fed Spring, Summer and Fall, silage fed in winter - no real way around it but still "free range"). Many cattle are raised on farms like ours was but then sold at market. Sometimes to the slaughterhouses but sometimes to people that fattened them up and sold them for more profit in more confined areas, corn and other grains). Their meat sells higher, and is probably better tasting (higher fat content - sounds bad but look at Wagyu and it is highest of all). It wasn't something you can control as a small farmer. Free range is the only realistic path for the little guy. In the US we have three grades, Prime is the best, but most expensive.
Lol grass feed isn't prime. Prime beef is specifically about marbling, grass feed doesn't meet thay category
I love the memes guys keep it up
What the documentary they are talking about?
I lived in Australia for over a decade most of their beef was grass-fed it taste like shit corn fed beef is way better it's not just a tenderness the marbling of fat is way better these chefs just feel that grass-fed is better and nothing more. The best beef in the world is generally in Japan and is beautifully marbled not grass-fed
Jay Zandegiacomo I have even seen documentaries where they give the cows beer in Japan to keep them relaxed and having a high appetite to eat more and fatten up.. I have also saw they play classical music some days to relax the cows.. it’s crazy the extent they go to make this beef..who knows if it actually works but it’s for sure interesting
Yeh our meat in Australia is “grass fed”.
iDARKSPAWN are you seriously butthurt because Australian meat tastes garbage? What are you a butcher or something?
Yes American fruit sux.
Lol, it's pretty funny, He must be a millenial glass heart snowflake
Grass fed is more bitter tasting
Resteraunts also age their steaks.
Most restaurants wet age their beef at most. This includes most "steak houses".
True dry agreed beef is hard to find.
@The People's Affront to Judea you'd be surprised by the number of well known steak houses that wet age.
I never got the hype about dry aged beef, it's stupid expensive and in my opinion doesn't make that big of a difference in flavor/TENDERNESS in comparison to how much more expensive it is.
they age their steaks in oak barrels
True.I love markdown steaks as long as their not discolored or smelly.50% off and better imo than super fresh bloody steaks that have too much iron taste.
They are both awesome. I like to switch between the two depending what is on sale.
The way my local butcher does it is grass fed but finished with either corn or grain they’re very well taken care of and the meat is always a vibrant dark red with beautiful marbling and a flavour that’ll make your knees give out 😋
Quality breed, farmed by quality farmer, fed on quality grass will taste like beef should.
Any deficiency in the above, grain fed will somewhat make up that deficiency.
imagine how delicious a cow would taste if it ate pigs
Bacon-fed beef
Jim McCracken Grass-fed Beef-fed Pork. Sounds delicious.
pigs are one of the nastiest animal...how can people eat that...pigs eat their own shit. Im a not a vegetarian but i will never pig.
@@muhtasimmahin5057 Chickens eat shit, fish eat shit and if you mix it in their feed then cows will too. Don’t ever try bacon or you’ll be hooked.
sound real fat
What was the title of the steak docu?
I'm Trying these new dry-aged bags. they're like zip-locks but allow moisture out so you can dry age whole loins in your fridge. I'll keep you posted.
How was it?
@@lijie6431 It takes at least 3 weeks.
Flintstone size top sirloin please😔
Lmao anyone who says corn feed isn't better is crazy
"I prefer that taste" "correct"
Good topic!!! Thanks for covering this!!!
Cow fed beef is the best
That's how we get zombies
Don't let them eat the brains boiii
Guy with glasses comes off a tad pompous and over confident.
He talked over his buddy with an accent a bit much and imo should have let him talk more.
Guy thought he was the smartest in the room. Lol
Been to his restaurant...he does know what he's talking about. It was excellent.
His restaurant is excellent.
The guy in the green shirt kept getting ignored for the past first 3 minutes💀😂
I finish my steers on lush pasture with hay and grain. Riversong beef, best you will ever eat.
Joe " I like a grass fed steak, but I do like a corn fed steak" ropan
@mr frank I edited steak spelled check spelled streak
@mr frank I guess it's not obvious enough I'm making fun of Rogan. It's okay
@mr frank ok👍
ropan
I love when people who never raised an animal in their life have such strong opinions!
The best tasting meat in my mind was a happy one.
Whats the montreal restaurant he talks about at the end?
I have cattle farmers in the family, they are fed both. Mostly hay in summer and mostly grain in winter.
I deliver livestock feed and some "grass fed" beef is grain fed most of it's life and just briefly finished on grass. The grass fed distinction is soooo shady. You could be eating feedlot beef while singing the praise of "grass fed" beef and paying a premium. If it's something you're really concerned with I'd say do your research and try to visit farms. A lot of the fancy marketing terms that people buy into don't mean much. There is something to be said for quality beef but it's not 100% based on it's diet.
Matt Kandel don’t you mean grass fed and then grain finished? The grain fattens up the livestock so they gain the most weight before they are sold.
@@vadianx - I know that's the common info on the internet and I'm sure a lot of places do that. My limited experience would be always pasture raised so there is always the option of forage but still grain fed and they'll grow big and fat. Then cut out the grain and increase forage for a short time. I'm sure it leans them out a little but I think it's meant to add some sort of legitimacy to I guess? I dunno. I'm not the authority and they don't usually want to talk about it but I'm still delivering grain to grass fed beef farms. The marketing just seems incredibly dishonest to me.
Matt Kandel
Great info, thanks for sharing the word. Luckily I live in ND where my uncle farms angus and Hereford and Aunt’s boyfriend has an elk farm. Delicious home grown protein that definitely tastes way different than the store bought or said “grass fed” crap.
Exactly, I learned that from working in grocery
yeah its the fancy marketing terms that trick a lot of us, like for eggs to be called " cage free" they only got to have a door open to the outside for only 5 minutes a day.....that's like saying if you get yard time in prison you are cage free lol
The most distinctive difference is the vitamin content in grass fed vs grain fed. Much more vitamin ADEK (fat soluble vitamins) and omega 3 in grass fed🤦♂️. Wish they discussed this a little.
Aswell as no bio-acumulated Posions from all the pesticides in grains...
Vasken F I trust this statement even though it's a CZcams comment lol
Trent Tagestad Some CZcams comments are well informed 😛
Yeah, what did you expect from Joe the idiot...
It's how it's finished before slaughter. It's all grass and hay fed, but when it comes to finishing the cow, grain fed gives you better flavor and marbling than if it's grass finished. Grass finished is cheaper to do, and grass finished is also more budget minded with less marbling in the meat.
Doesn't matter either one is good as long as it's prepared right
That's like asking "What's better, winning $1,000,000 or getting shot in the foot?"
Exactly. Corn finished every day.
How about grass fed grass?
Corn fed grass
Quality is the physical characteristics of a product valued by the consumer.
A brief finish in quality grains... Best stated
Grass fed tastes better and packs more of a nutritional punch.
100% grass fed can be kind if squishy so get grass fed and grain finished. The grain adds firmness to the meat.
You can't market the beef as 100% grass fed and yet be grain finished. In order to designate its as 100%, it's gotta be grass finished as well.
@@moviedude22 nice reading comprehension.
@@gregrohs6688 oh you're not saying 100% has a grain fed component to it at all. You're just saying get grass Fred grain finished, as opposed to 100% grass fed. My mistake. So where do you find the grass Fred/finished? At Whole Foods, I've seen only either, or
@@moviedude22 wholefoods has it. In fact most grass fed beef at wholefoods isnt 100% grassfed because of the firmness factor.
I ran a wholefoods meat dept a number of years ago and would complain about the firmness of the meat.
Unless it specifically says 100% grass fed its grain finished.
Just ANSWER DA FCKNG QUESTION!!!
to me it depends on the cut. i prefer a grass fed prime rib, skirt meat, loin. then i prefer a grain finished porterhouse, sirloins, brisket, etc. also depends what i a prepairing the meat for...grille, stew, oven etc
1:05 he starts to channel his inner Christopher Walken lol, the corn fed steak is delicious
