What in the Wild is A5?
A5 derives from the standards of grading beef which consist of Yield Grade (A,B,C) and Quality Grade (1-5). Grade A = Above Standard // 5 = Excellent (8-12). Our A5 steaks have superior marbling, scoring between 10-12 on BMS scale. Each steak is hand cut to approximately +/- 1 inch thick. Simply thaw, remove from package, salt, and cook in cast iron skillet at high heat - no oil necessary as fat will melt. Enjoy this ultimate eating experience.
