Aging Beef

Saturday May 26, 2007
You bought a great steak at the store, lightly seasoned it and grilled to perfection, but it just doesn't taste the same as that high priced restaurant steak. Why? Probably because your steak wasn't aged. Turns out fresh isn't all it's cracked up to be when it comes to a great steak. Aging is the nearly lost art of the perfect cut of beef. Aging intensifies the flavor of beef and leaves you with a more tender (and smaller) cut that is as near perfection as you can reach in meat.

The angus beef available at many upscale stores is just as good I ‘ve found.
