Quality You Can Trust

At CSS we made the conscious decision to only sell the best available, and to this end, the only beef products we sell carry the Certified Angus Beef® Brand Seal of Quality.

The CAB Brand was formed in 1978 by a select group of Angus beef ranchers to provide assurances of beef flavor and tenderness to consumers. The CAB program is overseen by the American Angus Association ®. and today, CAB is the most successful brand of beef in the world -- a symbol of excellence to consumers at restaurants and retailers in 47 countries.

Certified Angus Beef's mission is to provide consumers mouthwatering beef from the highest-quality, and highest-cared-for Angus cattle, and to earn the premium name the beef must pass 10 quality standards...

Certified Angus Beef® Standards

• Marbling and Maturity
• 1. Modest or higher marbling – for the taste that ensures customer satisfaction
• 2. Medium or fine marbling texture – the white "flecks of flavor" in the beef that ensure consistent flavor and juiciness in every bite
• 3. Only the youngest classification of product qualifies as "A" maturity – for superior color, texture and tenderness

• Uniform, consistent steak size
• 4. 10 to 16 square-inch ribeye area
• 5. Less than 1,000-pound hot carcass weight
• 6. Less than 1-inch fat thickness

• Quality appearance and tenderness
• 7. Superior muscling (restricts influence of dairy cattle)
• 8. Practically free of capillary ruptures (ensures the most visually appealing steak)
• 9. No dark cutters (ensures the most visually appealing steak)
• 10. No neck hump exceeding 2 inches (safeguards against cattle with more variability in tenderness)

And, beyond this, the Steaks have to meet CSS Standards too!

But we don't just stop at the CAB Certification. We taste test on a regular basis, age the meat in our own USDA inspected chillers before butchering, and all of our products are sent to a third-party testing service to assure chemical and nutritional analysis (you'll receive this certification with your order). Then, before shipping, we'll carefully match cuts for size, consistency and and quality.

In other words, while CAB steaks might be the best you can get, CSS steaks represent the best of the best! We guarantee it.
