LEADERS IN DRY AGING
In 1997, Buckhead Beef commissioned a dry aged beef study with Kansas State University to determine what variables create the ultimate flavor profile, juiciness and tenderness of dry aged beef. Moreover, we aimed to determine the safest way to achieve these results. Sourcing the right raw material is a key aspect of successful dry aging as the process requires large subprimals with evenly distributed fat content. The process enhances beef by two means. First, moisture is evaporated from the muscle. This created a greater concentration of beef flavor and taste. Second, the beef's natural enzymes break down the connective tissue in the muscle which leads to more tender beef. A dry aged steak is firm, yet tender at the same time, with a nutty, robust and rich flavor.
