Experience a bone-in steak with incomparable flavor and uncommon proportion with the SRF Gold™ Delmonico. Each steak is cut to the width of a rib bone to provide a magnificent physical presence. The abundant strands of rich marbling are a hallmark of our Gold™ steaks.
The Snake River Farms Delmonico is a rare and unique cut that belongs at the top of every steak lover’s list of favorites. Each Delmonica steak is the width of a rib bone, making this an especially thick cut. It’s garnered from the area where the ribeye ends and the NY strip begins, which produces a deeply marbled and flavorful steak.
Each Delmonico steak is carefully hand-cut from Gold™ American Wagyu beef which makes it even more extraordinary. Gold™ is the top-ranking grade for marbling and provides a luxurious amount of intense intramuscular fat for lavish juicy flavor. The bone is left in place which insulates the steak and produces juicy and tender finished results.
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.
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™ and SRF Gold™ both score above USDA Prime.
SRF Black™ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef.
SRF Gold™ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.
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.
There are only 2 Delmonicos available from each head of cattle, making this a rare and special steak.

The SRF Black Label grades between a BMS 6 to 8, and the Gold Label is the highest marbled with a BMS score at 9+. Read about the difference.
