Get ready for a ribeye that’s a cut above our traditional USDA Choice steaks. We start with our restaurant quality traditional ribeye, but add the rich umami with our proprietary dry-aging process.
Experience an amazing depth of flavor with our dry-aged USDA Choice ribeye steaks. These hand-cut, full size ribeyes are rich in flavor and are tender, juicy and delicious. Carefully dry-aged with the same proprietary method as our American Wagyu and USDA Prime offerings, these unique ribeyes bring an unprecedented level of quality to USDA Choice grade steaks.
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.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features a moderately abundant amount of marbling. Only 5 to 6% of all U.S. beef grades at this high level.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
The ribeye steak is cut from the rib primal which covers ribs six through twelve and is located between the chuck and loin primals. A full ribeye, like the cowboy steak, has three major muscles. The longissimus dorsi, or large center eye, the complexus, a smaller side muscle which is not always present depending on where the steak is cut, and the spinalis dorsi, also called the cap of ribeye or deckle. The cap is universally known as the single most flavorful and tender cut. The muscles of the ribeye are held together with tender sinew with large swaths of rich fat between them.
