Grilling Organic Beef And Pork

By Laura Roberts


As more people are finding the health benefits of eating natural food, they also find there is a learning curve when it comes to preparation and storage. For instance, some natural and organic foods, especially produce, does not keep as long as those edibles that are genetically modified. Even the preparation of organic beef and pork is a little different.

While getting full flavor is not impossible, getting around the dryness may take some practice. Like most lean meat, this type of meat does not cook the same way as marbled meat. This can be a challenge for those who like their beef cooked well because it can take on a jerky consistency when cooked over high heat.

The only things to keep in mind when cooking organic meats is that they must be consumed or frozen shortly after purchase. The other matter is cooking, as this type of meat tends to be fairly lean and lacks the ingredients used to lubricate or color most meals. While this is advantageous in terms of dieting, cooking can be a challenge for the user.

Using seasoning is encouraged, even if it is ground black pepper and table salt but most find that garlic or onion powder is best for disguising the gamey taste. If a person can use a dry rub or liquid marinate, this is a quick way to season. However, some commercial brands are either loaded with sugar or sodium, so making a powerful seasoning is easier than most may think.

Dry rubs are best for large portions of meat because the flavor is very intense. While these can be tasty on beef, chicken, or pork entrees, not all store bought rubs blends are healthy, as some have high levels of sodium or sugar. However, there is a simple way to create a custom rub blend.

Small portions not only cook faster but can be seasoned quickly. Instead of marinating, just cover each piece with a little oil and season as normal. However, for those who like their meat well done, it may be best to oven bake dense cuts of meat, like the shank or sirloin before placing on the grill. If getting a good char is a priority, then grill each piece for a few minutes and let cook in the oven for no more than 20 minutes. Meat should be covered and heat should be no more than medium high.

Making a seasoning blend is highly recommended for those with sensitive taste buds. Those making the conversion from traditional meat find that some cuts have a slightly gamey taste. For a spicy kick, blends made with cayenne or chipotle powder with a little garlic salt can be used for fajitas or hard shell tacos. Herb blends that use rosemary, sage, and thyme with onion salt are not only milder but more versatile.

Grilling natural or organic meat products is one of the best ways to cook for diet planning. Experts recommend lean beef, pork, and poultry for weight loss and reducing blood pressure levels. When eaten in moderation, it can be a nice change from vegetables and grains as an entree.
