With the prices of beef increasing dramatically, you want to make sure as a consumer you are equipped with knowledge about the meat you buy.

Choosing the right type of meat can make or break and excellent meal.

In Canada, we have our own beef rating system consisting of AAA, AA and A designations.

So, what exactly do these designations mean?

Here is a quick look at the Canadian beef rating system:

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.

Now that you have Canada’s beef rating system under your belt and a few dollars in your pocket, it’s time to go out and select the perfect steak at the best price.
