Beef Fact Friday: Beef Grades

This week's #BeefFactFriday wants to make sure you buy the right steak for your man of the house this upcoming Father’s Day. 

Beef quality grading evaluates the meat palatability (tenderness, juiciness and flavor) which includes carcass maturity, firmness, texture, color of the lean meat and the amount and distribution of fat marbling within the lean. 

The USDA uses three grading labels to grade a cut of meat
  • Select (good)
  • Choice (better)
  • Prime (best)
