What are the three major grades of beef?

USDA Prime

USDA Choice

USDA Select

What Is the difference between the three?

USDA Prime is the top grade of beef available on the market. When beef is graded prime, it is guaranteed to be tasty, tender, and extra juicy. Prime Beef has a buttery flavor that makes it surely a cut above any other grade. Prime has the most amount of marbling, so it will be easy to cook this steak to perfection. Remember just because the word prime is on the label does not mean it is the prime quality grade. The label must read “USDA Prime”.

USDA Choice beef is the second highest grade on the scale. When you are cooking for a crowd of people, choice grade beef is probably your best bet. Choice is typically lower in cost and quality, but still provides a juicy, tender, flavorful meat product. When you compare Choice to Prime, Choice is slightly coarser in texture.

USDA Select beef is the lowest grade of beef that you will find at a grocery store or restaurant. Select beef is much leaner than Prime or Choice or it does not have the same flavor or texture. Select has little marbling which makes it less juicy and tender, but if you cook it correctly you will still have an enjoyable piece of meat. Select beef will be much cheaper in price than USDA Prime or USDA Choice grades.
