Organic Steak shipped right to your door!

Having Greensbury Market ship their organic grass fed New York sirloin strip steak right to my door couldn’t have been any easier! Where I live in the North Maine Woods, its a 45 mile round trip to go a market that has high quality organic meat. That’s not always convenient, so I love it when I can order online and get products shipped right to my door.  I was wondering how things would turn out with shipping meat in the middle of summer.  The last couple of weeks it’s been pretty warm here with daytime highs in the 80’s.  But it arrived in perfect condition, neatly packed in a Styrofoam container with dry ice and promptly delivered by FedEx.

I was surprised at how nicely marbled the steak was.  When I heard the words “organic grass fed”, I thought the meat would be very lean and with leanness comes toughness.  But this steak was juicy, and incredibly tender.  I’m talking “melt in your mouth” tender!

So I was curious about why these Greensbury Market steaks were so much better than the organic steaks I had gotten at the local (using the term local very loosely) market.  I did a little investigating, and found the explanation on the Greensbury Market website’s “About Our Beef” page.  They give a detailed explanation of all that goes into their grass fed organic meat.  The quick summation is that they are discriminating about picking their rancher suppliers, insuring that they get well fed, contented cattle that have had superior care and feeding.  And when the meat is butchered, it is dry aged for 21 days.  Dry aging is a process that isn’t used in commercial meat production in today’s hurry-up world because it is more expensive and labor intensive, but the dry aging produces a superior product!

Now here’s how I prepared the steak using my Weber gas grill (we like our steak medium rare)-

•  Always let the meat come to room temperature so that it grills evenly. If you cook it right out of the refrigerator, the center will remain cold and raw (OK for sushi, not so much for steak) after the grilling is done.
• Be sure to season each side with a sprinkle of kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Preheat the gas grill for 5 minutes on the High setting so the steak will sear on the outside to keep all the moist juices in the meat.
• Sear the steak on the High setting for 2 minutes on each side.
• Turn the grill down to medium and grill for 5 minutes on each side.
• Let the steak “rest” on a warmed plate tented in foil for 5 minutes and then serve.

I served our steaks with sides of salad and oven roasted vegetables to complete the meal on a healthy note.  My recipe for oven roasted vegetables is below.
