What Is Dry Aged Beef?
Dry ageing is a traditional method of maturing beef under carefully controlled temperature, humidity and airflow. During the ageing process, moisture gradually leaves the meat and natural enzymes help soften the muscle fibres. The result is beef with a deeper, more concentrated flavour and a tender texture.
At Bromfields, selected beef is dry aged for the period stated on the individual product page. The process requires time, controlled storage and extra trimming, which is why dry aged beef is usually reserved for premium steak cuts.
Why Does Dry Aged Beef Taste Different?
As moisture is lost, the flavour becomes more concentrated. The ageing process also changes the texture of the beef, helping create the rich, tender eating quality associated with dry aged steak.
Which Cuts Are Best for Dry Ageing?
Prime steak cuts such as ribeye, sirloin, fillet, T-bone and côte de boeuf are particularly well suited to dry ageing.
