Beef Grades

Last post, I wrote about beef grades and I know nothing about them so while searching through the internet I found this website called "the meat man." Beef Grades have two important factors: marbling and the age of the animal. There are eight grades of beef and the grade also depends on tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The marbling is the amount of intramuscular fat there is in the cut. The top three cuts are Prime, Choice, Select. Prime has the most amount of marbling and Select has the least. The less marbling means the meat is more lean but not as tender.
