The term “USDA Prime” refers to the highest grade of beef — but what makes it so special? USDA Prime is the most tender, juicy, and flavorful beef available. It is also the most expensive type of beef, and only 2-3% of all cuts qualify for this designation. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at what makes USDA Prime beef so special and why it’s worth the splurge.
why is it special?
USDA Prime has a marbling score of 8-12 on a scale from one to twelve. This marbling (intramuscular fat) gives the meat its distinctive flavor and tenderness. The extra fat also helps to keep the steak tender and juicy throughout cooking. USDA prime cuts are usually from young animals that have been fed grain for no more than two hundred days. This helps to ensure that the meat will be as tender as possible.
where can i find it?
Unfortunately, USDA Prime is not always easy to find. In fact, many supermarkets don’t even carry it due to its high cost and low availability. But fear not! CG Burgers is one of very few restaurants that offers USDA Prime Beef in our burgers. If you’re looking for an excellent burger experience without breaking the bank, then head over to CG Burgers and enjoy the best burger in town!
