What's New with Certified Angus Beef!
I know that Memorial Day and Father’s day are right around the corner and those are occasions when families get together and the grills are always heated up. Our teams are there to help you pick that right cut of meat to make sure you impress your friends and family when you get together.
No Corn in Corned Beef
Although the rock salt used to cure the beef looked like corn, that’s not how corned beef got its name. The form of curing beef using salt is called corning and that is how Corned Beef was born. Interestingly, Corned Beef & Cabbage is derived from the Irish dish of Bacon and Cabbage, and along the storied way it's become an American favorite that we've all come to associate with St. Patrick's Day!
Grilling Tips for Certified Angus Beef
Grilling is easy, just remember:
S - T - E - A - K - S
Start with a hot grill. Searing beef helps lock in delicious juices.
Turn steaks gently with tongs or a spatula; never pierce with a fork.
Ensure juiciness by flipping steaks only once.
