It just boggles my mind that it's still so hard to find grass-fed beef on menus and grocery stores. Near impossible here. Near impossible in SF. Near impossible in LA. Why? It's frickin expensive! But the health benefits are tremendous and more than make up for the increased cost. Up to half the fat of grain-fed, lower calories, and tons of the healthy Omega-3's (like wild salmon). From a health perspective think of it as four-legged wild salmon... Seriously.
Take a look at our menu at Tucos, all the beef is grass-fed. (By the way, if the menu doesn't say grass-fed, it's not). Our braised beef program, which includes our beef arepas, beef empanadas and pot roast is spectacular, world-class. Tender, juicy, beefy, mouthwatering... Our burger, meatballs, and steak pizzetta rock. The strip steak is a trimmed down NY steak and it has a delicious earthy, beefy flavor and a wonderful, proud texture... not that flaccid, flabby texture of its grain-fed cousin.
We're so, so proud to be serving grass-fed beef (by the way, same goes for our grass-fed bison and pasture-raised eggs). It's what we're all about- providing delicious, exciting foods to our customers that happen to be wonderfully healthy too.. Help us get the word out so we see grass-fed on menus and grocery stores everywhere. Let's think of it as the new no smoking campaign.
