Diet:

Raised on a carefully managed diet that begins with natural grass/forage and transitions to a grain-based diet to enhance the quality of the beef. Grains are high-quality: silage, hay, and other nutritional supplements to ensure the cattle receive a balanced diet that promotes healthy weight gain and superior meat quality.

Antibiotic and Hormone Use:

Snake River Farms and Double R Ranch adhere to strict guidelines regarding the use of hormones and antibiotics. They do not use hormones to promote growth and only use antibiotics when necessary for the health of the cattle, following veterinary guidance.

The New York Prime steak from Double R Ranch has a deep, intense beef flavor that comes from the high-quality Angus cattle and their specific feeding regimen. Due to the careful aging process and marbling, the steak is tender, providing a luxurious eating experience. The intramuscular fat, known as marbling, melts during cooking, enhancing the juiciness and flavor of the steak. This marbling contributes to a buttery, smoother texture than a choice counterpart. The grain-finished diet can impart a subtle sweetness to the beef, balancing the robust, savory notes. The steak has a rich umami quality, which is a savory taste that adds depth and complexity to the flavor profile. The dry or wet aging process enhances the natural flavors of the beef, adding a slightly nutty and earthy undertone.

Reverse Sear: Sous Vide or Cook in a 225 oven to 130 degree internal temp and then flash sear in a cast iron skillet.

Grilling: Grilling the New York Prime steak over high heat helps to develop a beautiful crust, locking in the juices and enhancing the flavor through caramelization. Grill over lump charcoal or oak wood to internal temp of 132 and let rest.

Pan-Searing: Pan-searing in a hot cast-iron skillet can also create a delicious crust while maintaining the steak's tenderness and juiciness.

Seasoning: Simple seasoning with salt and pepper is often enough to highlight the steak's natural flavors. Additional herbs like rosemary or thyme, along with garlic, can complement its rich taste.

"This is a classic steakhouse cut with a solid steak flavor. For steak lovers that like a bit of chewiness and bounce in the mouthfeel and an American dark nutty steak taste, this is a great backyard bbq or white table cloth steak."
