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 Silver™ is a BMS of 4 to 5 with similar marbling to USDA Prime grade beef.
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.
Thaw Completely All Snake River Farms roasts ship frozen to maintain optimal quality. Before cooking your roast, we recommend completely thawing it in the refrigerator. A completely frozen roast can take several days to thaw, so plan ahead.
Reduce the Chill Remove the tenderloin roast from the fridge an hour before it is scheduled to go in the oven. Allow it to come to room temperature. This will help the roast cook evenly.
Salt the Night Before A tip used by many restaurants is to liberally season a roast on all sides the night before it is scheduled to cook. Leave the roast uncovered in the fridge overnight. The roast may appear dried out, but it will actually increase the moisture in beef when finished. The dry exterior produces an outside crust that adds texture and flavor.
Rest Always rest your tenderloin roast for at least 20 minutes after it’s pulled from the oven. This allows time for the temperature to rise and equalize throughout the roast. The resting time allows the natural juices to be reabsorbed instead of running out onto your cutting board.
The tenderloin roast is obtained from the loin primal located under the ribs and next to the spine. The direct source is the psoas major, a muscle that receives minimal use. Exercise makes a muscle tough, so the lack of physical activity makes the tenderloin a very tender cut. 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.
Meat scientists have proven the tenderloin is the most tender of all cuts using a measure called shear force. This is defined as the pounds of force to shear one-half-inch cores, removed parallel to the muscle fibers, of cooked muscle from steaks and roasts. The tenderloin scored 5.7 of shear force. On the other end of the scale is the top round steak, which scored 11.7.

What Is SRF Black Label and SRF Gold Label?
All SRF products are American Wagyu. We use the Japanese Beef Marbling Score (or BMS) to measure the marbling present in the beef. Both SRF Black Label and SRF Gold Label grade above USDA Prime. 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.
How Long Will My SRF Products Last and How Should I Store Them?
For optimal quality, you can store your SRF products in the freezer for up to 6 months. Per USDA guidelines, if meat is kept at 40 °F or below, you can safely store thawed meat in the refrigerator for 7 days in its original cryovac seal. More details.
