Flavor in Your Meat

BF Farms is a Limited Liability Company

This newsletter is actually coming from you, our customers. I’ve heard so many stories from you, and I want to share some of them.

To set the stage, here’s a little background. We provide beef to restaurants in Tulsa. A few years ago, a beef designated for them wasn’t marbled as well as we like, so we told them about it. Their reply was, “Oh, we don’t purchase your meat for its marbling. It’s the flavor we like.” If you’d like an exceptional experience, I recommend you give one of these restaurants a try; Farm Bar, Cow & Cabbage, il Seme, & Living Kitchen Farm at Depew.

Over the years, we’ve learned that when we ask customers about their meat, their first answer will almost always be, “The flavor is great”! Yes, tenderness is important, but it’s usually mentioned secondly. Tenderness can most often be controlled with how the meat is cooked. The natural flavor comes from how the animal is raised.

Many of our first-time customers who are accustomed to eating commercially raised beef, usually add flavor enhancers, so they continue to use things such as; steak sauces, rubs, & seasonings with chemicals on BF Farms beef. It may be difficult to break the habit of using these flavor enhancers, but I encourage you to give it a try. For example, cook a brisket without a rub. Use just sea salt & a bit of pepper. See what you think! You may be one of those who say, “I didn’t realize your meat had that much natural flavor. We’re sold”!
