Dry-aging is equal parts process and inputs. To make sure you get the best result, you’ll want to pick the right subprimal cut, a high quality supplier, and understand the certifications they offer. Good news: we’ve compiled everything you need to know so you can get aging.

U.S. Select

Select is widely accessible in grocery stores. It is considerably lean, making it perfect for moist heat cooking methods to help tenderize the tough fibres.

U.S. Choice

Choice beef has a good amount of fat marbling, imparting the tender texture many look for in a cut of beef. Choice is an excellent alternative to high grade beef, accounting for roughly 50 per cent of all graded beef in the USA. Choice beef is great for dry aging, creating intricate marbling and strong flavor.

U.S. Prime

Prime is the highest grade of beef. It has the most fat marbling, a beautifully tender texture and rich flavor. Prime only accounts for 2.9 percent of all graded beef in the US, and is usually reserved for high end restaurants. Perfect for dry aging, prime beef is as good as it gets.


Beef Cuts for Dry-Aging

Beef

This is where you’ll find the Prime Rib and Ribeye. While bone-in is preferred, any ribeye subprimal is great for dry-aging. Ribs have a lot of flavor and marbling, perfect for aging your way to a tender, mouth watering steak. For beginners, a boneless ribeye will be easier to butcher.

Recommended age time: Minimum 28 days

Striploin

While a striploin has less fat than a ribeye, it remains incredibly tender as a lesser used muscle. Dry-aged striploin is best used as unforgettable steaks.

Recommended age time: Minimum 28 days

Sirloin

Sirloin comes from the same loin as the strip, porterhouse and tenderloin. It’s less tender than the striploin, but known for its incredible depth of flavor. Dry-aged sirloin is also often used for beefy, flavorful steak, but can also be ground and added to a burger blend.

Recommended age time: Maximum 21 - 28 days

Age time: Maximum 21 - 28 days

Tenderloin

Tenderloin has minimal fat, so it takes less time to age. Through the aging process, this cut develops deep flavor and a tender texture perfect for roasting.

Age time: 15 - 21 days

Porterhouse

Porterhouse is from the short loin, which is known for its distinct marbling and tenderness. When aged, the Porterhouse gets an enhanced texture and flavor suitable for steaks.

Age time: Minimum 28 days
