Why Dry Aged?
Dry aging is a process that involves exposing cuts of beef to a controlled environment of temperature, humidity, and air circulation for an extended period. During this process, enzymes naturally present in the
meat break down muscle tissue, resulting in a concentration of flavors and the development of a tender, rich texture. We age our steaks just the right amount of time for the ultimate taste and texture.
Dry aging intensifies the natural flavors of the meat, creating a depth and complexity that is unmatched by any other method. The enzymatic breakdown of muscle fibers during dry aging results in a more tender and succulent steak.
As moisture evaporates from the meat, the flavors become more concentrated, leading to a richer and more robust taste and a higher level of protein per ounce.
Dry-aged steaks not only offer exceptional flavor and tenderness, they provide numerous health benefits. Dry-aged steaks are naturally low in carbohydrates, making them suitable for high protein, low-carb and keto diets.
- High-quality protein, essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall health.
- Iron, specifically heme-iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body compared to non-heme iron found in plant-based foods.
- Essential nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium.
- Increased Nutrient Density: The concentration of flavors in dry-aged steaks is accompanied by a concentration of nutrients, including protein, vitamins, and minerals.
- Healthy Fats: Dry-aged steaks often contain higher levels of mono- and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy and beneficial for overall well-being.
- Improved Digestibility: Dry aging helps break down collagen and connective tissue in the meat, making it easier to digest.
Circle M Meats dry-aged steaks have no added preservatives. They are aged in controlled environments without the use of artificial preservatives or additives, keeping your experience true, healthy and completely satisfying.
