The most important cooking tip with lean meat is "Think Low and Slow."
-The fat in feedlot beef serves as an insulator that heat must
penetrate before it cooks the beef.  Grass-fed Texas Longhorn
meat has less fat, so it cooks  quickly. If you cook lean beef as
fast as feedlot beef, you will overcook the lean beef and the
meat will be tough.  Here are some Longhorn Beef cooking tips:

Texas Longhorn Burgers
-Texas Longhorn Burgers are easy to cook.  The main
differences you will see: Because they are so lean, they don't
shrink as you cook them, and they cook about 30% more
quickly, so watch them closely if it is your first time to grill
Texas Longhorn Burgers. They taste amazing and for a             
little different taste you can add damp hickory or mesquite
chips.  If you are worried about how to cook Grass-fed
Longhorn meat, this is a great first order.

Insulate
-Don't be afraid to coat your Longhorn beef with any light oil
like, virgin olive oil, canola oil, or truffle oil before you cook
them, it will act as an insulator and help keep some of the
moisture in the steaks. Another trick is to begin broiling your
steaks when they are slightly frozen, this will keep them from
losing some of that moisture. When grilling, start by searing
both sides with high temperatures to seal in the moisture, the  
go to a lower temp.

Cook Texas Longhorn beef more slowly
-if you are broiling steaks, or grilling Longhorn burgers, place
them farther away from the heating element.
-be careful not to cook the beef too long, lean meat will
become dry and tough if overdone.

Turn it frequently
-if you flip your beef cut more frequently, it will cook slower.

-If you  are cooking a roast or stew meat, the
crock-pot is
great because your beef will always be tender and great
tasting...you won't even have to watch it very closely. You can
do other things while your
Heart-Healthy-Beef  cooks slowly
throughout the day.

-
In the oven: Put your roast in a pot with a little water (or
other fluid if you want to marinate your roast in something), put
the lid on, and cook at 200-250 degrees F.  Since grass-fed
beef has higher moisture content, you don't have to add much
fluid, and let the beef cook mostly in it's own juices.  Add any
vegetable such as carrots or potatoes the last hour, and enjoy.
-If you have a
smoker (aka slow cooker) this is a great way to
cook your Texas Longhorn beef.
