Grass-fed and grass-finished beef is a phenomenal choice at the butcher counter, especially when it’s our Fresh to Market Grass-Fed Beef by Certified Piedmontese.

Luckily, our pro chef team has shared some of their top tips for treating grass-fed beef with the tender loving care it deserves.
When it comes to beef, we’re thrilled to partner with Certified Piedmontese to offer our guests a gourmet beef raised sustainably on family ranches across the Great Plains.
