Food service quality assurance managers may not like it, but medium-rare beef is making a comeback.
It never really went away in fine-dining restaurants, where ordering a well-done steak is typically frowned upon by chefs, waitstaff and any red-meat lovers within earshot. But the gourmet burger chain and gastropub trends are now feeding the demand for pinker, juicier beef.
Stampede Meat is committed to “Improving Daily,” as one of our five core values towards achieving Customer Satisfaction. In 2015, we relaunched a customer satisfaction survey to evaluate our progress and received some very valuable input.
Would you purchase a meat or poultry item at a restaurant or supermarket because it’s promoted as “Meets Minimum Safety Standards”? Of course not!
Consumers expect the beef, poultry and pork products they buy to be safe, and a USDA Inspected label is supposed to prove it. But it’s not a differentiator or a selling point.
Stampede Meat will launch a new retail line of premium protein products at Costco Wholesale to make it the best summer grilling season ever. The new SM brand includes both U.S.D.A. Prime and U.S.D.A. Choice burgers and steaks with full-bodied flavor — perfect for backyard barbecues.
