Hearst Ranch Flank Steaks

On my blog, in the side bar, I have something posted for the foodie blog roll. They have contests only for food bloggers. I believe that anyone can enter, but they only do food or food related giveaways, like cook books, coffee mugs, etc.

Anyway, they had a product giveaway. I was a lucky winner of the giveaway. They asked everyone to blog about a beef sample. I was sent a sample of beef from Hearst Ranch. Hearst Ranch The beef is grass feed. I was thinking the sample would be a little 5 ounce piece of beef or something, but to my surprise, they sent me two, twenty-two once flank steaks.



The meat comes frozen in a Styrofoam box with a dry ice pack sitting on top. It is shipped either overnight or 2-day shipping. They will let you know it is coming so you can be home to get it. Once it arrived and I opened it up, I noticed that there was enough room to put about 40 pounds of meat in the Styrofoam box. I think they need to find packages that fit the size of the order. They would save money and be able to lower the cost of their product, even if only by a few dollars.

I thawed out the beef and grilled some up without any seasoning so I could get the taste of the beef as sent.





The beef was really good and really juicy.



I cooked some up at a friend's place. My friends that tried it also really like it. You can really tell a difference from the meat that is feed grains or mass produced.



The meat is kind of expensive. The package I received cost about 63 dollars, not something I can normally afford. Over all, it was really good. Rick
