Diamond Grading System 

The Slickhorn Score for Wagyu beef grading is based on intramuscular fat, which determines marbling and tenderness.   

  • Diamond I includes Wagyu beef with intramuscular fat between 20-30 percent, which is higher than USDA Prime.    
  • Diamond II includes Wagyu beef with intramuscular fat between 30-40 percent, which is significantly higher than USDA Prime and deeply marbled.    
  • Diamond III is incredibly rare. It includes Wagyu beef with exquisite marbling and intramuscular fat content above 40 percent. It is our highest-grade beef—extremely decadent, buttery, and tender.    

USDA Grading System 

The USDA regulates and oversees beef grading. There are eight total grades, but only a few you need to worry about. 

  • USDA Select is less than 3 percent intramuscular fat.
  • USDA Choice balances quality, flavor, and accessibility, with intramuscular fat between 3-6 percent.  
  • USDA Prime has intramuscular fat above 6 percent up to 10 percent. It is the highest USDA grade with the best marbling, tenderness, and flavor.  

Sous Vide It

Grill It

Sear It

Cooking Instructions

Follow your heart (and your stomach) for prep: you can sous vide, braise, or sear the Denver steak strips depending on your timeline. We recommend sous vide for a low effort and high impact bite. 

Sous vide these perfectly portioned strips for 3+ hours between at 131° F to render the fat. (It’s important to keep the temperature above 130° F for food safety!) After cooling to room temp, salt and sear quickly in a screaming hot pan to create a nice crust. Let rest for 5 minutes for the juices to redistribute, then serve.   

Because this trimmed-down version is versatile with plenty of marbling, these steak strips can also stand up to a sear or grilling. It’s most tender when kept rare. Always ensure your steak strips are fully thawed and at room temperature before cooking.  

Slickhorn Style: Miso Compound Butter  

Serve It With: Sesame Sweet Potatoes and Seared Asian Veggies 

Pair It With: Juicy Reds with Medium Oak or a Rich Brown Ale   

Where am I from?

Chuck Primal

The chuck primal is the cow’s shoulder and gets plenty of use, which develops a delicious beefy flavor. Typically, this primal needs a bit more time to reach peak tenderness, but the even blend of meat and fat makes for a tasty bite. 

No Doubt. Just Beef.
