As you know by now,(from the Beef Grading 101 guide) the degree of of marbling on the RibEye is the primary determinator of beef quality grade... and after reading our Beef Grading 201 guide you also learned that there are three predominant grading standards for beef: The American, the Japanese and the Australian.
Even with all this knowledge, beef labeling can be pretty confusing. So we have come with our own "simplified" system for you, the consumer to understand exactly what you are buying.
Meat N' Bone specializes in selling high quality beef. Our lowest level of quality is what you will find in most high end steakhouses, USDA Choice Certified Angus Beef. Which is literally, the best type of USDA Choice beef out there.
From then on, things get pretty confusing. Partly, because the USDA does NOT go beyond Prime and leaves it to private companies to "grade" their beef and they are hardly motivated to be impartial.
That said, we have worked hard on our supply chain so that we can offer beef of all qualities above USDA Choice.
