A Little About USDA Classifications for Beef
What makes prime rib so irresistible?
In today’s world, 67% of our buying decisions are said to be aided by online reviews. It turns out we were no less selective back in 1916 when grading beef began in the US. And, by 1926 the Standards for Grades of Carcass Beef were formalized for the first time.
There is no doubt the process used by the USDA has evolved and morphed into what we have today. Just as the care, feeding, and breeding of cattle has progressed. However, tenderness, juiciness, and flavor are still the goal.
Prime is the highest quality grade with only 2% of all beef meeting criteria. High-end restaurants are its biggest customers. Choice follows and is sold to specialty butchers and upmarket grocery stores. Select is what we will find on most household tables and is sold in supermarkets.
You can be sure that 1845 Taste Texas buys only USDA Prime grade beef – the highest grade, from one of the country’s premier cattle ranches, 44 Farms, located in Cameron, TX. In business since 1909, 44 Farms now raises thousands of cattle, Black Angus only, and provides Prime and Choice cuts only from their stock.
It’s All About the Marbling
The Prime Rib section weighs approximately 20 to 30 pounds and is taken from the top part, center ribs, of the cow at 30 to 42 months of age. While the legs have to be sturdy to support their mammoth frames, this area along the back is rarely challenged leaving the muscles tender and fatty.
A cut through here reveals some larger layers of fat covering tendons while thinner white lines create a mosaic against the red meat. These lines are what is referred to as marbling. They are most plentiful in prime grade permeating throughout the meat, tenderizing during cooking and creating that buttery texture you love.
