prime beef
Superior cattle cuts
Prime beef is the highest grade of beef as classified by the USDA, indicating abundant marbling and superior tenderness, juiciness, and flavor.
Only a small percentage of beef earns this designation, and it commands premium prices at restaurants and butcher shops: The steakhouse sources only prime beef.
Prime cuts come from young, well-fed cattle.
