Belgian Blue Black Angus Beef
Cooking Tips and Recipes
With BELGIAN BLUE MEAT it is imperative that you DO NOT OVER COOK IT!
Because our beef is leaner and healthier than any other beef on the market today it is easy to over cook and cook out the natural juices. Over cooking is the most common mistake in preparing steak. This is especially important with BELGIAN BLUE steaks because the muscle fiber is much finer than our domestic cattle that have been bred for marbling (more fat within the layers of meat). 
The ideal BELGIAN BLUE steak is rare to medium for optimum flavor and juiciness.
Grilling
Cook over medium coals at normal rack height, but shorten cooking time. Turn the steaks a few minutes sooner (1/3 less time) and check for doneness.
Roasting
Set oven temperature to 250-275 degrees and use a meat thermometer to check for doneness at 120-140 degrees. At this lower temperature, your roast should take the same amount of time as ordinary beef that is cooked at a higher temperature.
