7-1 IAT July Beef
JULY IS IDAHO BEEF MONTH
Attention Beef lovers! It’s time to celebrate! Whether it’s the All-American hamburger or a thick juicy steak fired up on the grill, this is the season for outdoor activities and backyard barbecues. Not only that, in recognition of the significant contributions the beef industry makes to Idaho and the important role of beef in the diet, July has been declared Idaho Beef Month by Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter. 2013 marks the 12th annual month-long celebration.
Idaho beef producers are committed to providing wholesome, nutritious, safe and delicious beef to consumers. They are proud of their role in feeding our nation. That’s why, through their Beef Checkoff Program, Idaho beef producers are celebrating Idaho Beef Month in July. Beef Month, coordinated by the Idaho Beef Council, promotes consumer awareness of beef’s versatility, nutritional value and economic contributions to Idaho.
A few words from Traci Bracco, Executive Director, Idaho Beef Council : “The Idaho Beef Council encourages all beef lovers to celebrate Idaho Beef Month by enjoying their favorite beef dishes.” And, to help consumers enjoy beef this month, the Idaho Beef Council is offering two new Grilling brochures called “Where There’s a Grill, There’s a Way” and “Rub Me Tender” to anyone who would like a copy. These brochures feature mouthwatering beef recipes, cutting edge rubs and marinade recipes, a chart that includes both charcoal and gas grilling guidelines to assure foolproof results whatever your grilling choice – steaks, burgers or kabobs. To obtain your free copy, contact the Idaho Beef Council at beefcouncil@idbeef.org or by calling (208)376-6004.
