(Gluten and Dairy Free)

This is my favourite Sunday night dinner!!!
It’s an awesome grass fed piece of Rump Steak under those Mushrooms.
Some of you might be thinking “GRASS FED” what does that mean and what difference does it make???

Here are 5 reasons what Grass Fed is the best choice in Red Meat;

Grass Fed Meat has so many benefits… healthy and clean eating!

It has twice the amount of Beta-Carotene (a precursor of Vitamin A) – needed for normal vision, bone growth, reproduction and cell division.
It has 2.5 times the amount of Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant which can help mop up free radicals.
It has more omega-3 fatty acids, and an improved balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, and help prevent heart disease and arthritis. (Only grass fed beef is recommended by Food Standard Australia for beef to be considered a source of omega-3 fatty acids.)

Grass fed beef has increased levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an important polyunsaturated fatty acid which is involved in reducing heart disease, cancer, diabetes and the accumulation of our own body fat.

As well as containing significantly less saturated fats (‘bad fats’) grass fed beef tends to be leaner overall (less than 3% fat).

And last but not least it simply tastes better…
