The cut from the article
The spinalis — the crown of the ribeye. A steakhouse plates this cut at $140+. Chef channels claim nearly all of it before retail ever gets a call; this is the piece of that pipeline we hold for home cooks.
Hot cast iron, salt, a short sear, a rest. That's the whole plan.
The rest of this week's allocation
JMGA Certified
Every A5 cut ships with its Japanese Meat Grading Association certificate — the unforgeable proof from the ads.
Traced to the animal
Certified to the individual animal via nose-print ID. You can look your steak's lineage up.
BMS 9–12 only
Grocery Prime tops out around BMS 5. Nothing in this allocation grades below BMS 9.
Before you ask
Is this a subscription?
No. Every cut on this page is a one-time purchase — no recurring box, nothing to cancel. (The optional Meatery Membership in the cart is a $50/yr perks program — 10% cash back and a lower free-shipping threshold — not a meat subscription.)
Is shipping free?
Shipping is free on orders over $195 — or over $150 if you add The Meatery Membership ($50/yr, which also earns you 10% cash back on every order). Below the threshold, calculated cold-chain shipping is shown at checkout before you pay.
How does the meat arrive?
Flash-frozen at peak, packed with dry ice in an insulated cooler, shipped overnight-to-2-day cold chain from San Diego. Thaw in the fridge and it eats like it was cut that morning.
Do I need special gear to cook A5?
No thermometer, no sous vide. Hot cast iron, salt, a short sear per side, a short rest. A5's fat renders at 77°F — it does the work for you.
