Gourmet beef is a category of specialty or very high quality beef. Gourmet beef encompasses many different foods and is served in the most elegant white tie restaurants. Gourmet beef usually consists of a process known as “aging”. Also, the choice of meat and the USDA grade given to the beef, determines if it is “gourmet” or not. When you think of Gourmet Beef, think of the fine beef and steak in the most expensive restaurants.

Before the days of vacuum packaging, aged steaks were the norm. Aging steaks comes in two forms, Dry Aged and Wet Aged. Wet aging is less expensive and will give you a heavy steak. Dry Aging takes anywhere from 1-3 weeks- the steak loses up to 20% of its weight, but retain moisture deep inside the steak. By using Dry Aging methods on USDA Prime, you will have a delectable gourmet beef steak.
