The World's Only Ultimate Beef List

Few (if any) would argue that the Black Bear is the undisputed leader of modern beef information in the state of Colorado, but most (including almost all important beef producers and processors) would say that it goes much further than that. Having hosted four separate blind beef challenges, and being the only restaurant in the history of the world to have compared all these beefs, we could easily be peerless in respect to international elite beef knowledge. It has always been our goal that our customers benefit from this extensive experimentation and analysis, and that has taken final form in this “Beef List”. The first of its kind in the world, and functioning much like a wine list; you simply pick your steak, or if you like, design a whole tasting experience.

Available as individual steaks or in the form of a three meat tasting or five meat flight.

*****
This is complicated, but we are trying to provide a level of beef never witnessed before. It works like this: We have featured SEVENTY FIVE DIFFERENT steaks since we started this in 2000, and on any given evening we will have many of them, usually in several cuts and sizes. Your server will have the exact specifics of what is available. We have utilized all of the following at one point or another:

USDA Choice, Angus Beef, Colorado Small Farm Beef, USDA Prime, Piedmontese, G&C Cold-Rinsed Beef, Premium Gold Angus, Maverick Ranch All-Natural, Newport Dry Aged USDA Prime, Ranch Foods Naturally Tender, Black Label American Kobe, Canadian Grass and Grain Wagyu, Australian Kobe, Niman Ranch All-Natural, Coleman, Ridgefield Hereford, Lassater Farm All-Grass Beef, Sterling Silver, Colorado Grown Limousin (from Southern France), Doug Wiley’s Southern Colorado All Grassfed Beef, Gold Label Fukusuru Kobe.

KOBE

A lot has been said about Kobe Beef since we introduced it to the State of Colorado a few years back. We even did the Beta Testing on the burger meat now used so infamously in NYC, Vegas, Chicago, and Kansas City (as seen on Martha Stewart and Oprah). Of course, now it’s every where. Even the Gold Label which we were exclusive in for ALL of North America for TWO years is now available elsewhere. I have not fought that expansion. I am proud of my friends who produce the finest meat in the world and support their continued success. We do still offer the most regular supply and at least two different types a night available in different sizes. These days there are many types of Kobe as well. American, Waygu, Canadian, etc. We have featured all of them at one time or another (and would be glad to explain the difference), including steaks from the original Imperial Herd. However, not many Americans want to pay $250 for a 6 oz. Filet, so I tend to stray away from those cuts. Usually, we feature the best selling and most popular Kobe in the world. The folks we introduced so long ago from Snake River who are now so famous, and Fukusuru, their leading sire, who is on record as the most marbling animal in history. Well deserved fame for hard working individuals. Please enjoy!
