A luxurious bone-in steak that’s derived from the area between the ribeye and New York strip. Hand-cut to a generous thickness from USDA Prime beef, the Delmonico is impressive to see on the serving tray but Its true beauty is revealed with the first rich and juicy bite. The Delmonico is definitely a dining experience worth exploring.
The USDA Prime Delmonico is a steak that’s unlike any other. Carefully procured from the area where the ribeye ends and the NY strip begins, this steak has the richness of a ribeye with the firm texture of a strip steak. Made from our finest USDA Prime grade beef from the Northwest, this is a steak with the bountiful marbling expected from the top 4% of all beef graded to the USDA’s standards. Hand-cut to a plentiful thickness, the rib bone is left attached to the steak for a high-end dining experience.
"...Hands down, Double R Ranch is the best beef in the country."Â ~ Eric Hellner, Executive Chef, The Metropolitan Grill, Seattle, WA
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 Delmonico steak is cut from the longissimus dorsi muscle where the rib and loin primals converge. Each beef animal has 13 ribs, numbered from 1 at the front to 13 at the rear. Ribs 6 through 12 (7 total ribs) are associated with the rib primal.
The 13th rib is part of the loin and this is specifically where the Delmonico is sourced. The loin primal is where New York strip steaks are cut so the Delmonico resembles a large strip steak. At this point, the spinalis dorsi (or cap of ribeye) and internal swath of fat ends, leaving a rectangular section of well marbled beef.                                             Â
There are only 2 Delmonicos available from each head of cattle, making this a rare and special steak.
