USDA Choice beef ribeye full case sold by the pound, approximately 90 pounds average weight per case. This is a case sale of lip-on ribeye, meaning the highly prized cap muscle (spinalis dorsi) remains attached to the ribeye roll. The cap muscle is renowned for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and intense beefy flavor, making it one of the most coveted cuts on the animal.

USDA Choice grade beef has less marbling than Prime but is still high quality. Choice roasts and steaks from the loin and rib are very tender, juicy, and flavorful, suited to dry-heat cooking methods. The ribeye cap muscle features fine streaks of fat that enhance juiciness and create a buttery texture when cooked.

This full case format is ideal for commercial use, bulk storage, or those who process their own beef. The lip-on designation preserves the cap muscle, which can be separated for premium cap steaks or left attached for traditional ribeye preparation. Each steer yields only 6-8 pounds of cap meat, making this an exceptional value for those seeking this premium cut.
