Prime Beef

USDA Prime represents the top 2% of American beef by marbling — above Choice, well above Select. For shoppers who want premium American beef without crossing into Wagyu pricing, USDA Prime is the right tier.

How USDA Prime Compares to Wagyu

USDA Prime tops out around BMS 4, which sits just below our Australian Wagyu Green Label (BMS 4/5). The marbling is significantly less intense than higher Wagyu tiers, but the beef flavor is bolder — a classic American steakhouse profile.

What We Carry

Our USDA Prime selection focuses on the cuts that benefit most from premium grading — Ribeye, NY Strip, Black Angus. Every cut is hand-portioned, vacuum-sealed, and blast-frozen.

Cooking Tips

USDA Prime can handle higher heat and longer cooking than Wagyu — ideal for reverse-searing thick cuts or grilling steakhouse-style.
