RIBEYE COOKING TIP
Let it come to room temp before cooking. Sear over high heat for a crust, then finish low and slow for even doneness. Rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to lock in juices.
Beef Grading
Not all beef is the same, and the difference starts with quality grading. The USDA, or United States Department of Agriculture, evaluates beef based on key factors like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The most important indicator is marbling, which is intramuscular fat that enhances both texture and taste, as well as the maturity of the animal.

USDA Prime is the highest grade available, awarded to only the top two to three percent of beef in the country. With abundant marbling, it delivers exceptional tenderness and rich, beefy flavor, just like the steaks served at top-tier steakhouses.

Right below that is USDA Choice Angus. While it has slightly less marbling than Prime, it still offers outstanding quality and consistency. It’s a favorite among chefs looking for premium flavor and reliable performance. At DemKota, our Heritage Elite program is hand-selected for only the finest, offering USDA Prime and USDA Choice Angus steaks, so you can enjoy a steakhouse-worthy experience at home.
