This month, on the Clean Your Plate Challenge, we’re focusing on one of my very favorite foods: grass-fed steak. So, US Wellness Meats and Nourished Kitchen have teamed up on this months challenge – asking you to create a unique, wholesome recipe that highlights the beauty of grass-finished steaks – with a real focus on making the flavor of grass-finished meat stand out in its own right.
And a belated congratulations are in order to Devon who won the February’s Clean Your Plate Challenge which featured olive oil by Chaffin Family Orchards with her stunning, and unique recipe for dark chocolate-covered apricot and olive oil truffles.

The Prize and a Little about US Wellness Meats:
Founded by lifelong farmer John Wood, U.S. Wellness Meats grew out of John’s realization that there was a unique way of raising cattle for a growing niche of U.S. consumers who were beginning to understand the health benefits of CLA and omega-3s from free-range meat.
A fifth-generation farmer, John was used to thinking like his ancestors and his neighbors when it came to raising animals. In a nutshell, this old method meant growing the animal on pasture, feeding them grain in confinement for the final four months, and then selling them off to a big animal processor when it was time for them to be harvested. But with a little experimentation, he discovered the old method might not be the only method. In 1997, 1998 and 1999, John raised animals on a 100% forage diet and had the proof he needed: there was another way to get tender and exquisite-tasting beef, lamb, bison, goat and dairy products
US Wellness Meats is awarding the winner of the recipe contest with what else but grass-fed steak! The winner will receive a grass-fed london broil steak valued at $23.29, plus shipping .
