When you dine at Tribeca Tavern in Cary, NC, you’re not just enjoying a delicious meal—you’re supporting local farmers and sustainable food practices. One of the standout features of our menu is our pasture-raised beef, sourced from trusted cattle farmers within 30 miles of our restaurant. But what does pasture-raised really mean, and why should it matter to you? Let’s break it down.
What Is Pasture-Raised Beef?
Pasture-raised beef comes from cattle that have been raised primarily on open pastures rather than confined feedlots. Unlike conventional beef, which may be grain-fed in feedlots, pasture-raised cows graze freely on grass and natural forages. This results in healthier, more humanely raised animals and, ultimately, better-quality meat.
Many people ask, “Is pasture-raised the same as grass-fed?” While similar, pasture-raised beef may have a more diverse diet that includes natural forages found in open fields, whereas grass-fed beef is strictly limited to grass. At Tribeca Tavern, we work with local farmers to ensure our beef is pasture-raised with sustainable, ethical farming practices.
Why Pasture-Raised Beef Matters
- Superior Flavor & Quality
Pasture-raised beef has a richer, more complex flavor compared to conventionally raised beef. The natural diet and active lifestyle of pasture-raised cattle result in meat that is leaner, yet still tender and juicy. At Tribeca Tavern, we grind our beef in-house daily to ensure you’re getting the freshest, best-tasting burger in Cary, NC.
- Health Benefits of Pasture-Raised Beef
Nutritionally, pasture-raised beef offers several advantages over conventional beef, including:
- Higher Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These heart-healthy fats are found in greater quantities in pasture-raised beef.
- More Antioxidants & Vitamins: Higher levels of vitamins A and E, as well as more beta-carotene.
- Lower in Saturated Fat: A leaner alternative to grain-fed beef without compromising taste.
