Local tips
Buying beef in United States
USDA grades
Prime has the most marbling, then Choice, then Select. Grocery stores mostly sell Choice; steakhouses and specialist butchers carry Prime.
Dry-aged
Aged 21 to 60 days in a controlled cooler. It loses moisture, concentrates flavor and costs more per pound.
Grass-fed
Leaner with a mineral, grassy flavor. Cook it a little less than grain-finished beef.
