Grass-Fed Beef Tacos with Fresh Summer Salsa
Elevate your taco night
Fresh, seasonal ingredients meeting the standard of 100% grass-fed beef.
Finding a dinner that everyone likes—and that you can feel good about serving—shouldn't be a complicated project. You know, those Tuesday nights where you just need a win.
The easy route at the grocery store involves seasoning packets filled with cornstarch, sugar and preservatives. I like to think that when you start with a high-quality foundation, you can cut out that “stuff”.
When you use 100% grass-fed beef, the work is already done for you. The meat has a deeper, cleaner flavor that doesn't need to be masked by additives.
By choosing real spices and fresh, seasonal vegetables, you’re making a simple investment in your family’s health without spending all evening in the kitchen.
This recipe is about keeping the process straightforward so you can focus on the people at your table, knowing the quality of the meal is already secured.
Ingredients
1 lb NCR 100% Grass-Fed Ground Beef
1 tsp Chili Powder
½ tsp Cumin
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Coarse Sea Salt
¼ tsp Cracked Black Pepper
2 large tomatoes (diced)
½ white onion (finely chopped)
A handful of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice
Corn tortillas or large lettuce leaves for a lighter option
Jim’s Tip
Because our ground beef is grass-fed and finished, the fat is where the nutrients and the flavor live.
When you brown this beef, don't drain it all away!
That small amount of liquid is what carries the spices and keeps the meat tender.
Directions
The Salsa: In a small bowl, combine your tomatoes, onion, cilantro and lime juice. Set it aside. Doing this first allows the flavors to settle while you focus on the beef.
The Sear: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. You’re looking for a good brown sear—that’s where the flavor foundation is built.
The Spices: Once the beef is browned, add your spices directly to the pan. Stir for about a minute to let the heat "wake up" the flavors.
The Simmer: Add a small splash of water (about ¼ cup) to the pan. This helps the spices coat the beef evenly without drying it out. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the water has mostly evaporated.
The Assembly: Briefly warm your tortillas in a dry pan. Fill them with the seasoned beef and top generously with your fresh summer salsa.
Simple ingredients. Better results.
