eli5: Why Does Organic Beef Seem Gamey?

475 views

If it’s because of lack of antibiotics, how does this work and why can’t we feed them something else that makes them less gamey? Also curious how aging affects it, as funk and game may not be the best combo.

Thanks in advance.

As others have mentioned it’s not because of the antibiotics but because of the actual diet of the animals.

I think it is actually preferred by those producers to be a little more gamey as that is what beef “should” actually taste like, in their natural habitat cows graze. So they don’t want to change it, on the contrary they want it to have that distinct flavour from “mass produced” beef
