I ordered 5lbs of ground Yak and some steaks. So far I have only used one pound of ground meat. My wife made 3-1/4lb burgers. She barely seasoned, cooked them medium rare and they were perfect. Quality is top notch, flavor is awesome!
Thank you Lisa and Robert. Keep up the great work.
PS, when I eat the other meat, I'll put up a new review!
Loved the variety and opportunities to try new cuts. It was also a great topic of conversation as none of my guests had ever tried yak. Some were definitely a little intimidated, but they all said it was delicious!
I marinated in Italian seasoning and slow cooked these
Chuck roasts . Amazing so tender and brilliant my 40 guest said !! Delicious Italian beef sandwiches with ajou and fresh tomatoes and basil and fresh mozzarella !
I bought the ground yak and steaks. The yak steaks with some Montreal seasoning were delicious and tender. The taste was similar to beef so this transition to a more nutrient protein has been great. As I live in ABQ, I wanted to know where my meat was coming from and support my local farmers in New Mexico. I am very pleased with my purchase and look forward to purchasing meat here exclusively moving forward.
We marinated the flank steak for 24 hours and grilled it 375 - 400 degrees for about 12 - 13 minutes resulting in light pink/medium meat. The meat had good flavor but was a little on the tough side.
Absolutely excellent beef!!!
Chama Valley Meat has excellent beef and we’ve been very happy with it.
I highly recommend them.

I was fortunate to grow up on a ranch. I've been looking for beef that tastes as great for a very long time. All the efforts going into these animals and the care of the ranch comes through in the final product. This is an exceptional value for beef of this high quality.
Easy to order, delivered as promised. The meat was delicious, very subtle game taste, similar to bison. Will try more soon!
The ground yak is a lotta bang for your buck. Just the perfect fat content for grilling with a deep savory flavor. Looking forward to using it in my Greek dishes!
Made sliders for the family this weekend using the ground yak and it was delicious! Incredibly juicy with just some salt and pepper on the grill.
I had never had yak meat before, so this was a real pleasure! I was excited, but my girlfriend was a little nervous, as she generally only likes beef. However, we were both blown away by how tender this cut was, and all of her fears about it being "gamey" were disproven with the first bite!
I cooked mine in a cast iron pan with oil, butter, and garlic. Brought it to room temperature first, salted it on both sides for about an hour, and then cooked it low and slow. You can't go wrong!
The ground yak is so sweet. I like making rare burgers served with grilled onions on a Hawaiian brand pretzel bun. I also made a yakiiniase-aka bouliinaise- over angel hair pasta! Primo!
We bought our first bundle and it is delicious! Tender, great taste, well packaged. They were super responsive to my questions. Will definitely be buying more ( we want to try the Yak next).
I ordered 2 packages of Osso Buco. I braised and slow cooked the shanks in cast iron. The meat has great flavor and is super tender.
Our dogs love their ground yak. Clean bowls, healthy fur and lots more energy in our 3 -14 plus years fur babies!
Every cut I have had from the yak down to the jerky and snack sticks have been fantastic. Thank you.
