You'll prefer Preferred Angus® Beef.

Preferred Angus® beef has the tenderness and flavor you'd expect from a quality Angus beef. We keep our standards high to ensure that quality. The standards we set are not abstract ideals but measurable, attainable, monitored standards.

100% Angus. First off, our Preferred Angus beef is 100% Angus beef. That means all of it, not most of it.

This is grain-fed Angus beef. Grain-fed beef has robust marbling. And marbling affects flavor, juiciness and tenderness. Marbling is how the USDA grades beef. Preferred Angus beef is a perfect combination of USDA Choice and Select grades of beef.

Aged. All Preferred Angus beef is optimally aged to ensure melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

And finally, it's tested for tenderness. To date, we've tested more than 400,000 beef samples to ensure we're delivering The Standard for Tenderness® in every bite of Preferred Angus beef.

High standards every step of the way. Preferred Angus beef.

The USDA has labeled 29 cuts as lean.

You'll label them delicious.
