What is the difference between USDA Prime and Wagyu beef?

USDA Prime beef is graded by the USDA based on marbling, color, and texture, representing the top tier of American beef. Wagyu beef comes from Japanese cattle breeds and features exceptional intramuscular marbling, creating a buttery texture and rich flavor. Japanese A5 Wagyu represents the highest grade with the most extensive marbling. Both are premium options; Wagyu offers a more luxurious, marbled experience while USDA Prime delivers excellent quality with a more traditional beef flavor profile.

What does dry-aged beef mean?

Dry-aging is a traditional butcher technique where beef is aged in controlled temperature and humidity for 45+ days. This process concentrates flavor, enhances tenderness, and develops a deeper, more complex beef taste. The extended aging allows natural enzymes to break down muscle fibers, resulting in exceptional culinary performance. Meat N' Bone's dry-aged steaks are hand-selected for superior quality and consistency.

Is grass-fed beef available in this collection?

Yes, Meat N' Bone offers 100% grass-fed skirt, flank, flap, and vacio steaks. Grass-fed beef is sourced from cattle raised on pasture, resulting in a cleaner flavor profile and different nutritional composition compared to grain-fed options. Our grass-fed selections are carefully curated for superior quality and consistent culinary performance.
