Each one pound package has some variation in sizes so this product is best used as an ingredient. Give your everyday dining a gourmet boost with these delicious American Wagyu tenderloin pieces. We recommend adding a package or two to your next order.Â
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling. Â
Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores. To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the 12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA). SRF Black Label â„¢ and SRF Gold Label â„¢ both score above USDA Prime. Â
SRF Black Label â„¢ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef. Â
SRF Gold Label â„¢ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.Â
Filet mignon pieces are obtained from the loin primal located under the ribs and next to the spine. Filets mignons are sourced from the psoas major, a muscle that receives minimal use. Exercise makes a muscle tough, so the lack of physical activity makes the filet mignon a very tender steak.
This muscle has minimal marbling so it does not have the flavorful fat found in ribeyes or New York strips. Our American Wagyu tenderloin has a higher amount of marbling than USDA Prime grade tenderloin which makes for a more flavorful filet mignon.
