The 10 Stringent Requirements of Certified Angus Beef
MARBLING AND MATURITY
1. Modest or higher marbling – for the taste that ensures consumer satisfaction
2. Medium to fine marbling texture – the white “flecks of flavor” in the beef that ensure consistent flavor and juiciness in every bite
3. Only cattle harvested less than 30 months of age by dentition and only A-maturity lean – for superior color, texture and tenderness
CONSISTENT SIZING
4. 10- to 16-square-inch ribeye area
5. 1,050-pound hot carcass weight or less
6. Less than 1-inch fat thickness
QUALITY APPEARANCE AND TENDERNESS
7. Superior muscling – limits light-muscled cattle
8. Practically free of capillary rupture – ensures the most visually appealing steak
9. No dark cutters – ensures the most visually appealing steak
10. No neck hump exceeding 2 inches – safeguards against cattle with more variability in tenderness
A CUT ABOVE THE REST
For many people, a great steak is the pinnacle of meals. It’s what you serve when you want to treat yourself and your family. But a select few—the true aficionados—seek something more: the experience only provided by the legendary quality of Certified Angus Beef ® brand Prime.
It’s the very best of the best, with nine more standards than USDA Prime. It’s a taste of the good life: one in which craftsmanship is treasured and excellence embraced. It understands that time is precious and not to be squandered on anything second best.
