A lean cut from the hip of the cow, Sirloin Steaks are slightly tougher than other cuts and ideal for quick cooking methods such as grilling. WHY PIEDMONTESE? It is a gourmet heritage breed originally from the Piedmont of Italy. Due to a naturally occurring "double muscling" gene, Piedmontese is incredibly lean while preserving unsurpassed tenderness. So lean the American Heart Association endorses Piedmontese as a Heart Healthy Food! If that is not enough to entice you, it's history might - the purity of the Piedmontese bloodline dates back 25,000 years ago to the late stone age...back when homo neanderthalensis coexisted with homo sapiens, stalking wooly mammoths and being stalked by saber toothed cats. And due to it's unique bloodline and gourmet quality it is exceptionally rare and valuable. We are one of the few farmers in the Southeast...even the nation to raise Piedmontese Beef. FOR THE LOVE OF COMMUNITY & ALL THINGS FARMING... Our farming philosophy is pure and simple - respecting our animals and our pastures with no antibiotics, hormones or harmful chemicals...from birth to finish. We choose to crossbreed our certified Piedmontese bull, Al, to "mom's" of various breeds who are chosen for their propensity to grass finishing. Thus tailoring our beef for superior qualities. The "double muscling" gene, however, is dominant and is the influencing trait in all of our Piedmontese beef. We like to say with Piedmontese, "You can have your steak and eat it too!"
