Depending on where you live, some
meats are more common than others.
We'll address the most common types

The USDA Grades you should know and understand.
The higher the ratio of marbling and the younger the beef, the higher the grade.
Prime is the highest grade and most expensive.
Choice is the 2nd highest grade with less marbeling.
Select less marbeling still and may be older beef.
