Why Dry Age Meat
Meat aged for around 21 days will develop a depth of flavour and texture that will improve it dramatically. You can turn a sub prime piece of beef into something amazing. And unlike ordering at a restaurant, you wont be forking out $75 a pop! The key effect of dry aging is the concentration and saturation of the natural flavour, as well as the tenderization of the meat texture. The process changes beef by two means. Firstly, moisture is evaporated from the muscle. The resulting process of desiccation creates a greater concentration of beef flavour and taste. Secondly, the beef’s natural enzymes break down the connective tissue in the muscle, which leads to more tender beef.
