FAQ - USDA Prime Beef

What does USDA Prime mean?

USDA Prime is the highest grade of beef in the United States, based on marbling, tenderness, and overall quality. Only a small percentage of beef qualifies for this grade.

Is USDA Prime better than Choice or Select?

Yes. USDA Prime has significantly more marbling than Choice or Select, resulting in better flavor, tenderness, and juiciness.

Is all USDA Prime beef the same?

No. While all Prime beef meets minimum standards, quality can still vary based on sourcing, feeding, and handling. Well-sourced Prime beef will have better consistency and flavor.

What’s the difference between grass-fed and grain-finished beef?

Grass-fed beef develops deeper, more complex flavor, while grain finishing helps increase marbling and tenderness. A balanced approach delivers both flavor and texture.

How should I cook USDA Prime steak?

High heat methods work best:

  • pan-searing
  • grilling
  • broiling

Allow the steak to rest after cooking for best results.

What temperature should I cook ribeye to?

For optimal flavor and texture:

  • Medium-rare: 130–135°F
  • Medium: 135–145°F

Avoid overcooking to preserve tenderness.

Can I freeze USDA Prime beef?

Yes. Vacuum-sealed beef freezes well and maintains quality when thawed properly in the refrigerator.
