|
(Selma, CA - April 18, 2011) ----Just in time for warmer weather and prime grilling season, Harris Ranch introduces new Angus ground beef options for crave-able, juicy burgers and other recipe ideas. These new Angus frozen ground beef patties and refrigerated chubs are produced to the highest standards by Harris Ranch and available in multiple lean points. The new fresh, refrigerated chubs retail between $3.99 and $5.99, while the re-sealable bag of nine, 1/3-pound frozen patties has a suggested retail price of $9.99 - $11.99.
"We know our customers place Angus beef in a category by itself," says Brad Caudill, Vice President of Marketing for Harris Ranch. "It is what many think of as 'the good stuff'. We want to make Angus beef easy and convenient for people to use any night of the week."
Angus cattle are known to produce well marbled, more tender and flavorful beef. Harris Ranch has been producing the highest quality and most consistent beef possible for nearly 40 years. Not many beef companies can truly claim they control all aspects of production, but Harris Ranch has built a uniquely integrated company where they control cattle sources, feeding and humane processing. The result is beef with consistent flavor, texture and juiciness, perfect for grilling, or browning and adding to an award-winning chili recipe, or another favorite dish.
 Harris Ranch's new Natural Angus Ground Beef Patties are available in both 81/19 and 85/15 lean points. The three pound re-sealable packages contain nine patties that are already formed into perfect 1/3-pound portions and ready to go to the grill or frying pan. The easy-to-open and easy to re-seal bag lets home cooks use what they need when they need it, with no mess. The new one pound refrigerated Harris Ranch Natural Angus Ground Beef Chubs are available in 81/19, 85/15 and 90/10 lean points. They  contain one pound of meat in a package that is easy to store in the refrigerator and has just the right amount for most recipes such as chili, tacos, meatballs or sliders.
Harris Ranch's beef cattle spend about 80% of their lives grazing on western ranch lands before being finished on a nutritionally balanced diet of corn and other feed grains, plus alfalfa hay, vitamins and minerals. This helps add tenderness, flavor and juiciness to all Harris Ranch beef products.
Customers can cook with comfort, knowing third-party auditors and major quick service restaurants (QSRs) repeatedly give Harris Ranch exceptional marks for food safety. In fact, as an industry leader they are one of the first producers to begin final grind testing to further ensure product wholesomeness. For more information please visit www.harrisranchbeef.com.
