The everyday ground beef, from cattle that never saw a feedlot.

An 80/20 grind from Engler's grass-fed and grass-finished cattle. That second word is the one most labels leave off. These animals spend their whole lives on open Sierra foothill pasture: no grain, no feedlot, no added hormones or antibiotics. The fat carries a mineral, almost buttery flavor that grain finishing washes out.

Grass-finished beef is naturally richer in omega-3 fats, CLA and beta-carotene than grain-fed, and it is a solid source of complete protein, iron, zinc and B12. Engler breeds and raises for tenderness, so you get none of the gamey edge some grass-fed beef has.

Who this is for

  • You want burgers and tacos on the table tonight without wondering what the cow ate
  • You are trying to eat more protein and fewer processed foods
  • You have been disappointed by tough, gamey grass-fed beef before
  • You want to know the ranch, not just the label

How to use

Lean beef cooks faster. Pull it earlier than you think and do not crowd the pan. 1 lb packages. Keep frozen or use within a few days of thawing.

From Michael and Mary Engler's fourth-generation family ranch in Sonora, an hour up the hill from Modesto, raised on regenerative grazing that builds the soil as it feeds the herd.
