| When it comes to knowing your grades, you might want to brush up on the beef rating system for when you make your next purchase of steaks.
In the US, you are likely to come across a beef grading system that consists of U.S. prime, choice and select. Although similar, Canada has its own beef rating system consisting of AAA, AA and A designations. So, what exactly do these designations mean? And why should this matter when buying beef? The Canadian beef rating system is defined by the following: AAA – this grade of beef has only small amounts of visible marbling. The AAA grade is a very high-quality category that will provide a juicy, tender cut of beef that is resilient in a variety of cooking methods. Up to 50% of graded beef reaches the AAA quality and status. AA – With only a slight amount of marbling, AA-grade beef is a slight step down from AAA-graded beef. Still, 45% of graded beef falls under the AA heading and it still can provide an excellent cooking and dining experience. A – The lowest of the four high-quality grades, A-grade beef only consists of 3% of graded beef in Canada. Obviously still considered adequate enough to be listed as high quality, A-grade beef should be cooked a little more carefully for best results due to the less evenly distributed fat. The Canadian beef grading system means that as an educated consumer, you can now better understand the relationship between price and rating designation. Choosing the best steak at the best price will result in maximum flavour that won’t break the bank. A great deal going on at your local Lococo’s is there sale on AAA Striploin Steaks for $12.99/lb.
