Beef Grading Overview


In Canada, beef has a grading scale that ranges from E to A & Canada Prime. The higher the rating (A+), the higher the quality of beef. Beef that has a grade of Canada A and above, will have both a quality grade and a yield grade. To learn more about beef grading and quality, visit this link from the Beef Cattle Research Council: Carcass Grading - BCRC

Summit Beef Tenderness Scale


Not all steaks are created equal. Some parts of the cow are more tender than others and produce a higher quality product. Tenderloin (Filet Mignon) is going to be your most tender cut, where as a skirt steak from the Plate is going to be the most tough.
