USDA Prime
USDA Prime Beef
USDA Prime is the highest quality grade of beef, distinguished by its abundant marbling—the intricate flecks of fat distributed throughout the meat. This extensive marbling guarantees exceptional tenderness, juiciness, and a rich, buttery flavor that surpasses all other grades. It is produced in limited quantities and represents the pinnacle of beef eating experience. Due to its superior quality, it is most often featured in high-end steakhouses and fine dining establishments, and is the preferred choice for dry-heat cooking methods like grilling and broiling, where the fat renders to create an incomparably succulent and flavorful result.
Flavour
Intramuscular fat renders through the beef as it cooks, carrying a richer, more rounded flavour.
Tenderness
Fine threads of fat help the cut remain soft, juicy and forgiving on the grill or in the pan.
Grade
