What is beef grading?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the beef-grading program and certifies the score given each cut of beef.

USDA inspectors determine the quality rating of beef by considering the following characteristics:

• Amount of marbling in the ribeye muscle (lean) portion
• Maturity (age) of the beef carcass

Typically, younger beef with greater ratios of marbling score higher grades.

Harris Ranch beef is available in all three beef grades:

1. Prime has the most marbling.
   Usually sold to high-end restaurants, Prime beef may also be featured at specialty meat markets and some supermarkets.
2. Choice has a little less marbling than Prime.
   Choice is the most widely available grade in the market.
3. Select has the least amount of marbling.
   With less fat in the muscle, Select beef is leaner but a little less juicy and flavorful than Choice and Prime.

What is Marbling?

Have you noticed the white streaks and flecks of fat within the lean sections of meat that create a marble-like pattern? Known as marbling, this intramuscular fat gives beef its flavor, juiciness and tenderness. In general, the more marbling you see, the better the cut.

Marbling does not refer to the layer of fat on the outside of the steak or roast, which can be trimmed away.

Certain cuts of meat naturally have more marbling than others.

Cuts with the most marbling:

• Beef rib
• Short loin

Cuts with the least marbling:

• Beef round
• Sirloin
