Meat Color | Why Did My Ground Beef Turn Brown?

Brown Slime
Why Red Meat Turns Brown

meat color change - why meat color turns brown
Why Meat Turns from Red to Brown
Just kidding about the brown slime. But I've found my ground beef does turn brown every time I yank it out of the fridge. 
"Color is the single most important factor of meat products that influences consumer buying decision and affects their perception of the freshness of the product. Everyone dealing with meat products should have a working knowledge of the color".
-Boles, Pegg.
I got home from New Seasons Market yesterday and it happened again. Curious, I decided to look into the cause.

Chuck Roast On The BBQ - My Paleo Dinner From Monday Night

Grass Fed Beef on the Barby
My Experiment With BBQ'in A Chuck Roast

Grass Fed Chuck Roast
Most chuck roast recipes call for a crock pot/slow cooker. Well I'm a guy and I like to BBQ. 

I had the day off and wanted to bust out the Traeger BBQ. If you don't know what that is, it's a pellet grill that allows for indirect heat at various temperatures, including smoke. It makes the best chicken in the world, hands down.

Anyway, I marinated the roast for 24 hours to try to get as much flavor as possible. Here is what I used for the marinade and how it turned out;

Lose Weight with this Hearty Paleo Lunch

This is my post workout meal. If you are attempting to lose weight, a single burger might be a better idea!

Paleo Burgers - 100% Grass Fed Beef
I eat so much beef it's not even funny. I eat beef (grass fed) like normal people eat chicken. Maybe more. I pretty much eat red meat every day. I also never do ab workouts and constantly maintain a six-pack. I let my food do the work for me.

New Seasons usually carries the 5% or 10% lean pasture beef which simply doesn't cut it for me. If you've been around Paleo Evolved much, you know how I encourage healthy fats - saturated included. Well with only 5% fat content I decided to add a little of my own.

I want to add some muscle this winter so in an effort to increase testosterone, I've increased my saturated fat content. This allowed me to add some fresh guac and uncured bacon to my burgers. I pre-mixed some garlic, salt, pepper, minced garlic and sliced onions in the burgers before throwing them onto the grill.

I've also never really eaten wild rice before. While I usually stick to white rice to avoid plant toxins, I can't accept the idea that brown rice and the added fiber is unhealthy. It's NOT something that I eat daily however. Maybe once a week...maybe.

Grilling Asparagus Secret! Stop killing yourself!!!

Too many people make the huge mistake of cooking with olive oil. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is very sensitive to heat and literally goes rancid at 350*F. This means that the oil oxidizes and creates free radicals which are known to lead to cancer. Save the olive oil for your salad.

A better oil to cook with is Avocado Oil. This healthy oil is stable up to 500*. Cook with this oil instead of Olive Oil PLEASE!

Sample Paleo Meal - Paleo Dinner for Weight Loss

Paleo Dinner Sample
Pasture Raised Lamb with Parsnips and Tators

sample paleo meal
I eat lamb and salmon at least once each week, and last night was my lamb night. I prefer getting the lamb arm chop cut from New Seasons Market. It usually costs around $6 and I usually cut in in half for two different meals. If I am feeling the need for a re-feed I will eat the entire thing though!

As you can see from the picture above, the bone is full of delicious bone marrow! Growing up I would have avoided this like the plague, but now that I eat Paleo I know better and love "God's Butter".

This is a sample paleo meal that I would use post workout. Plenty of protein and carbs to refuel, plus some veggies for the bonus nutrition.

The recipe is pretty simple, here it is;

Paleo Pizza Recipe- Coconut Flour Pizza Crust

Paleo Style Coconut Flour Pizza
The Best Damn Gluten Free Pizza Period

Paleo Pizza - Coconut Flour Pizza Crust
Some days I just need some pizza! 

That being said, obviously I am not down with spending $5 for Dominos take-out as my ass would shake for a week, although 5 bucks for multiple meals would be amazing (sometimes I envy my ignorant, out of shape friends).

I've tried cauliflower and almond flour Paleo Pizza Crust Pizzas, however this is my favorite hands down.

I got the crust recipe from Chris Shugart of T-Nation and made this with some leftover grass fed steak I had in the fridge. I like these paleo pizzas because they are high in calories for a refuel, however the calories are still relatively clean; meat and veggies.

Admittedly, there is a decent amount of cheese in this recipe. If dairy is an issue for you, I apologize! 

With this site being focused on muscle growth, high caloric meals like this are great for off days! With this pizza you are going to get tons of both veggies and protein!

Here is the recipe!

Paleo Chili AKA Muscle Fuel

Build Muscle With Paleo Chili
Grass Fed Beef and A Ton of Veggies!

paleo chili recipe
The best way to go about paleo eating is to be prepared. Preparing meals ahead of time not only saves time but it also ensures we are feeding ourselves the right nutrients at the right time. It ensures we do not cheat!

I've been cooking chili with this recipe since I was in college. This was a great way for me to get a nutrient dense meal without spending too much money. I used to make it with beans but now usually omit them.

I love this chili because it's loaded with healthy protein, fat and tons of veggies. I can't think of a better way to sneak veggies into a diet than chili. 

Here's how to make it!

 5 Benefits of Grassfed Beef – For Building Lean Muscle Mass

           Beef...It's What's for Dinner!
             5 Reasons to Eat Grassfed Beef for Building Lean Muscle

Picture
“We can't digest grass. So to take land that is not good enough for agriculture -- that's growing grass and nothing else, that's been doing that for 10,000 years since the buffalo -- and put a cow on it ... there's something beautiful about that, and it's just the way it was meant to be.” Michael Pollan.

As a Paleo dieter who throws around heavy weights, I can’t think of a more powerful food than grassfed beef. The news might tell you that red meat will lead to cancer and death but I’m here to show you how grassfed beef will actually fight cancer while building lean muscle!

New Seasons Market Grass Fed Beef Non-sense! (Whole Foods Too!)

  Vegetarian Fed Beef = Grass Fed Beef? Wait, What???

Grass Fed Beef New Seasons Market
New Seasons Market
I’m pissed. The last two times I’ve visited New Seasons Market to pick up some quality flesh (Grass Fed Beef) I have left empty-handed. I eat Paleo and depend on these organic markets to provide healthy food in an ethical way. I spend more money on quality foods because besides my conscience mind, my “body temple” is the one thing nobody can take from me while I am still breathing.

“Humanely raised, vegetarian fed and grown without the use of
antibiotics or growth hormones” is the advertisement I always see when I enter New Seasons Market for their “Country Natural Beef”.  

“We’re not hurting the land; we’re working with it” claims Connie Hatfield from CNB. Hell yes, I am down with that. But hold on a minute I came here for grass fed beef...

I am 100% for preservation and happy cows (and dogs everywhere), however are we really getting the whole picture? While I know Country Natural Beef and New Seasons Market is definitely a step in the right direction, I’m not sure we are getting the entire story here.
