Aussie Grassfed Beef recently took a star turn at acclaimed Chef Will Gilson’s The Lexington in Cambridge, MA for StarChefs Discovery Week, a special menu run celebrating Australian Grassfed Beef. We caught up with Chef to get the deets on his “Steak Frites” Australian Grassfed Bavette with Peppercorn sauce and see how it all went.
