What are your most popular cuts of beef?

Everyone has their own favorites. However, our best-selling prime beef cuts include our Filet Mignon, Boneless Strip Steaks, Boneless Rib Steaks, and Rib Roasts.

I'm a first-time customer—what would you recommend?

That depends on your tastes. If you are looking for something tender and succulent, try our Filet Mignon. If you are looking for a classic steak-lover's steak, try our Boneless Strip Steaks or Bone-In Strip Steaks. If you want something hearty and toothsome, try our Boneless Rib Steaks or Bone-In Rib Steaks. If you're looking for something a little off the beaten path, try our USDA prime Hanger Steak or Wagyu Skirt Steak. Or for something decadent, try a selection from our American Wagyu offerings.

How do I tell how many servings I will get out of a cut of meat?

All our meat is sold by weight. Our thickness and servings charts can tell you approximately how thick each cut will be and how many servings you can expect from each cut. Our thickness and serving charts are listed on each product page.

I'm looking for a specific steak. Why can't I find it on your site?

People across the country have different names for the same cut. If you're looking for a specific cut, but you can't find it under the name you're accustomed to, it's possible that we have it by another name. For example, Delmonico, Kansas City Strip, and New York Strip are all names for a Boneless Strip Steak.

If there's something in particular that you're looking for and can't find, email us or give us a call at 1-877-783-4512. Our customer service representatives are ready to help you.
