The highest USDA grade available
USDA Prime represents the highest quality grade awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture. Only a very small percentage of American beef achieves this prestigious classification thanks to its exceptional marbling, tenderness, juiciness and flavor.
This USDA Prime Black Angus comes from carefully selected American Black Angus cattle. The animals are NHTC-certified (Non Hormone Treated Cattle), antibiotic-free and grain-fed for approximately 100 days, creating extraordinary marbling and an exceptionally rich eating experience.
The benchmark for premium steak
The world's finest steakhouses rely on USDA Prime because of its consistency and remarkable quality.
As the steak cooks, the abundant marbling melts into the meat, creating exceptional tenderness and a luxurious buttery flavor.
