For Life Lived without Compromise

For those in a class of their own, Certified Angus Beef® brand Prime is in a class of its own.

For many people, a great steak is the pinnacle of meals. It’s what you serve when you want to treat yourself and your family. But a select few—the true aficionados—seek something more: the experience only provided by the legendary quality of Certified Angus Beef® brand Prime.

Prime Tomahawk Ribeye Steak

It’s the very best of the best, with nine more standards than USDA Prime. It’s a taste of the good life: one in which craftsmanship is treasured and excellence embraced. It understands that time is precious and not to be squandered on anything second best.

Enjoy without reservation or compromise.

Only the top 3% of beef qualifies

Prime Pyramid

More selective than USDA Prime

Certified Angus Beef® brand Prime goes beyond USDA Prime-grade marbling by applying nine additional standards that other Angus beef doesn’t have to meet.

Prime Burger

The difference is clear and continues throughout additional standards that ensure quality in every bite.

Only high-quality Angus cattle are eligible to ensure superior consistency

Commodity USDA Prime can include any breed, which allows for variability in overall taste and appearance

Sourced solely from “A” maturity cattle

USDA Prime has no maturity requirement, which can result in lack of tenderness

Requires finely textured beef, in addition to Slightly Abundant or higher marbling, to deliver flavor and juiciness

USDA Prime only matches the marbling standard
