USDA Prime question
There is a store advertising locally, selling "Montana grass-fed beef
steaks." They are touted as being very lean, which I can imagine as being grass-fed, but are also advertised as "USDA Prime." I thought Prime required substantial marbling of fat. Is it possible for beef to be Prime and also very lean? |

Prime includes both age and fat content. It's pretty hard to find prime beef in stores since restaurants tend to take all of it. Paul |

Is it possible for beef to be Prime > and also very lean? As a beef producer in Australia, I found your question to be very interesting but since have no idea of how the USDA grades beef, I had a very interesting tour of sites dealing with this issue. I found this one: http://www.beefresearch.org/CMDocs/B...%20Grading.pdf Whihc says that the marbling on USDA Prime would be 'slightly abundant'. I'd be asking the store selling this beef about the breed involved as that can have an impact on marbling eg Wagyu are one breed that marbles better than say Hereford. Eyeball the meat and if you like the look of it, try some. |

Typical Paul Cock behavior. Claim something false, get called out on it and then act like it was all a big joke. Next step - go into hiding for a while. |

I think we established a long time ago that I am not a sock. And that yelling "sock!" is your favorite defense. |
