Much confusion exists about lean beef and health. Stick with me on this for a moment. Grass fed meat can be leaner than chicken or turkey or it can have as much fat as a Ruths Chris prime ribeye. Properly raised grass-fed beef is much more healthy and flavorful than either of these extremes. The greatest thing about grass fed (and finished) is that the fat is high in Omega 3’s which is the “good fat” that your body and brain actually need to survive. Talk to your rancher about this. The fat content will depend on things like:

1. The age of the animal
2. The body condition of the animal
3. The way the butcher cuts and trims the meat
