About this Event

In Beef Cuts 101, you’ll dive into the fundamentals of how beef is structured, where each classic cut comes from, and what makes them taste and cook the way they do. All beef during the tasting will be highest quality USDA Prime and Choice steaks.

How Cattle Are Raised
Explore the basics of cattle breeds, feeding practices, and the journey from farm to butcher shop.

USDA Beef Grading Explained
Understand Prime vs. Choice vs. Select, what marbling really means, and how to choose quality beef confidently.

Guided Tasting
Taste your way through a curated selection of beef cuts and maybe even discover your new favorite!
