With smaller herds and fewer breeding cows, the next two years could spell higher beef prices for consumers. The US Department of Agriculture, or USDA, is projecting a 7% decline in beef production next year.
I did it on lump charcoal. I wasn't sure how to test if it's done, so I let it go for probably too long. The outside started to get a golden color, and was close to burning, or, at least, what I guess would be burning. To do a true test I also did lean beef, well done. The texture of both was exactly the same. But the beyond burger tasted like a weird meat I've never had before. It wasn't nasty. If I didn't know it was plant-based I would have guessed some exotic meat.
