One of the challenges when cooking lean beef is to keep it moist when someone wants a burger or steak cooked medium well. As with any beef overcooking can dry it and reduce the tenderness and flavor. But with lean JT2 beef, overcooking can occur with lower internal temperatures so it is very easy to dry your culinary creation. Well done beef can create a challenge for any grill master or back yard chef because there is typically less fat content in lean beef so lower internal temperatures can dry the beef sooner.
A simple idea is to use a spice glaze. Instead of preparing your steak or burger with dry spices try a glaze instead. The idea is to mix the spices of your choice with olive oil (can also use vegetable oil as a substitute). Mix completely then brush the spice glaze over the burger or steak before and during the cooking process. I used garlic salt, McCormick's steak seasoning, and a touch of Cajun spice for a little kick (that is the Texan in me).
By applying the spices in a glaze you can reduce the drying, add back some moisture through the olive oil, and hopefully lock in some natural juices. Enjoy the grill!
We would love to hear your favorite mix of spices! Will you share?

At JT2 Beef, our mission is simple: to provide individuals like you with access to all-natural, pasture-raised beef that's free from hormones, antibiotics, and steroids. We are dedicated to ensuring that our cattle lead happy, stress-free lives, and we achieve this by controlling every aspect of their upbringing right here on the JT2 Ranch.
Why JT2 Beef Stands Out:
Our commitment to quality starts with the source. Our beef comes straight from the lush green pastures of East Texas, ensuring a genuine farm-to-table experience.
Our cattle spend their time right here in the plush, green, beautiful hills of East Texas. The cattle experience the benefits of the warm, green, grassy climate traditional to East Texas.
Our cows thrive on a primarily grass-based diet, supplemented with about 2% Certified all-natural grains. This balance ensures their well-being and contributes to the exceptional taste of our beef.
We take pride in the fact that our cattle are never exposed to growth hormones, antibiotics, or steroids. Our beef is free from preservatives before packaging, maintaining its natural integrity.
