Understanding the Difference: AAA Angus vs Wagyu

At first glance, all premium beef might seem the same—but the differences are in the details. At The Meat Market, we help our customers understand what sets each grade apart so they can make the right choice for their taste and budget.

  • AAA Angus: This grade is beloved for its balance of marbling and leanness. AAA Angus beef comes from cattle raised under strict guidelines and offers consistent quality. It’s ideal for anyone who wants reliable, restaurant-grade steak without going overboard on richness.

  • Japanese Wagyu: This is steak on another level. Wagyu cattle are genetically predisposed to produce fat that’s evenly distributed throughout the muscle. The result? Unparalleled tenderness and a buttery flavor that lingers long after the last bite. Best enjoyed medium rare with minimal seasoning to let the meat shine.

Whether you're looking for an everyday indulgence or a centerpiece for your next big celebration, we’ve got both options available—cut fresh and ready to grill.

Perfect Pairings: What to Serve with Our Premium Cuts

The right cut deserves the right company. Whether you're going classic or creative, pairing the right sides and beverages can turn your meal into a masterpiece.

Here are some customer-favorite pairings:

  • Rib Eye Steak + Garlic Mashed Potatoes + Grilled Asparagus

  • Wagyu Striploin + Truffle Fries + Red Wine (Cabernet or Syrah)

Why Quality Matters on the Grill
