Yakkity Yak with Chef Joe Cizynski

Once you try Yak you’ll never go back! These Yak are 97% lean, raised approximately four to five years on family owned pastures in Colorado. Yak carries three times the amount of oxygen in their blood stream allowing for a higher count of minerals, omega 3 and protein. Raised at elevations higher than 9500 feet, these Yak are grass-fed and grass-finished. This breed of cattle has a deep red color and a slightly sweet, delicate beef flavor, while being noticeably more tender than beef or bison. This meat does not have a gamey taste. Part of the “Never Ever Program”, these cattle are never administered antibiotics, hormones or steroids. Yak is a lean, heart healthy meat, that is a great alternative for the beef lover in your family! We will have classic beef tartare, spring rolls with ginger and lemon grass, rib-eye steak with green peppercorn sauce and finish with cheeses. We will taste chenin blanc, pinot noir and cabernet.
