Beef

Beef

Our objective is tender and flavorful beef. The elements necessary to produce that beef are simple and logical. First, you accept to recognize that "meat" is muscle and connective tissue. The more they are used and the longer they are used, the tougher they go. And then, the animal needs to be INACTIVE and Immature. Secondly, "fat" delivers season to the tongue, and then we want the meat to be well-marbled. That means that the animal must be PROPERLY FED with a high saccharide content feed, such as corn. (Grass-fed beef lacks this quality, and, therefore, will not be consistent in quality).

Finally, when an fauna is harvested, natural enzymes begin to pause down the tissue. This Crumbling process is actually decomposition done under controlled circumstances. In our case, it is aged an boilerplate of thirty days at 36/37 degrees. This produces both tenderness and complex flavors. (Nearly of our steaks are "moisture" anile in vacuum-sealed bags. For a more than intense flavour, we do offering a pick of "dry-anile" steaks).

Don't be fooled past the many marketing strategies out in that location. Those iv elements of YOUTH, INACTIVITY, PROPER FEED, and PROPER AGING, MUST be present, or the beef will be inferior!
One time we know the rules, how do we notice the product? A vast majority of the beef sold in San Diego is from the Central Valley of California, Imperial Valley, Arizona's Sonora Desert, and the dairylands of Utah. Immature, inactive, well-fed cattle are not likely to come from those areas. Proper cattle come from America's Heartland. The vast majority of our beef comes from Nebraska!

In recent years, the quality of available beef has diminished. This is even truthful of Midwestern beef. Information technology has forced usa to switch to "paw-selected" product. In this case, nosotros buy from dealers who actually select private animals to insure quality.

USDA PRIME is the highest grade of beef. It represents only an average of ii% of the total production. That, notwithstanding, wasn't quite good enough for united states. All of our PRIME beef comes from mitt-selected programs of Iowa Beef Packers. It is either their own selected Angus or Certified Angus and comes from Dakota Metropolis, NE.

USDA CHOICE is the second highest form. Our "1855 Make Hand-Selected Choice Beef" is a product of Swift & Co. It was named in laurels of Augustus Swift who, in 1855, borrowed $20 from his father and went on to make history. This superb product comes to us from Chiliad Island, NE. For more than info, visit their website at world wide web.1855brand.com

MIDWESTERN USDA Prime AND Pick Beefiness is what our customers deserve. We refer to Western beefiness and all other grades as USDA ROADKILL! It only isn't expert enough for any serious melt. Why waste your time?

KOBE BEEF
When well-nigh people hear this term, they think of the famous hyper-marbled beef from Japan. That top level of true Kobe beef is chosen "A5", and it is available on special lodge. Prices will vary, just you can expect to pay in excess of $150 per pound. Beefiness with this excessive marbling is really in a class by itself. Like "foie gras", it's non something that yous taste. Information technology'due south something that yous feel! We desire you lot to exist enlightened that there are a lot of "pretenders" out at that place. At that place is beef produced in Commonwealth of australia, Canada, California, Texas, Idaho, ad nauseam, that is marketed every bit "kobe". It's not! In most cases, these are crosses betwixt Wagyu (the truthful Kobe breed) and Black Angus. While some of it can exist quite good, it is Not Kobe, and information technology is extremely overpriced. We have done taste comparisons between a high level of Australian Wagyu versus our Angus Prime. They were identical in gustation and tenderness, but the phony "kobe" was four times the cost of the Nebraska beefiness.

More of these Wagyu operations are starting upwardly all the time. When and if we observe one that is of loftier enough quality while being reasonably priced, we will carry it. If we wouldn't buy it, we can't expect you to buy it.
