USDA Prime is the most tender, juicy, and flavorful beef available. It is also the most expensive type of beef, and only 2-3% of all cuts qualify for this designation. In this blog post, we\u2019ll take a look at what makes USDA Prime beef so special and why it\u2019s worth the splurge.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;text-transform:capitalize;\">why is it special?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>USDA Prime has a marbling score of 8-12 on a scale from one to twelve. This marbling (intramuscular fat) gives the meat its distinctive flavor and tenderness. The extra fat also helps to keep the steak tender and juicy throughout cooking. USDA prime cuts are usually from young animals that have been fed grain for no more than two hundred days. This helps to ensure that the meat will be as tender as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;text-transform:capitalize;\">where can i find it?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>Unfortunately, USDA Prime is not always easy to find. In fact, many supermarkets don&#8217;t even carry it due to its high cost and low availability. But fear not! CG Burgers is one of very few restaurants that offers USDA Prime Beef in our burgers. If you&#8217;re looking for an excellent burger experience without breaking the bank, then head over to CG Burgers and enjoy the best burger in town!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term \u201cUSDA Prime\u201d refers to the highest grade of beef \u2014 but what makes it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,96],"tags":[99,98],"class_list":["post-1277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-specials","category-usda-prime","tag-burgers","tag-usda-prime"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Is USDA Prime Beef?
