I found out the real "40 days" dry aged steaks are not for everyone.
The fat has these strong "aged cheese" flavours which explode 3 seconds after they melt in your mouth, it's like condensed beef flavour . I love it, but not for everyone, it can be quite overwhelming.

Thanks for letting me know. I've been looking around to buy aged steak in Vancouver. As to the strong flavour, it may have to do with portion size. I bought $40 for 4 people to share, the steak is very greasy.

Thanks. It was the best steak I've ever had. (The meal is very cheap when comparing to restaurant prices. Plus, almost no cooking skills require to cook this baby nicely.)

Cioffi or the one inside Granville Island is better?

The one in Granville Island's Prime is good for anyone who likes beef.  This Cioffi Dry Aged is catered to very specific need, which is the next gourmet level with extreme condense beef flavour.  To me, this dry aged is a whole different level, and it's better deal, but "cheese" flavour fat is not for casual beef eaters though as I mentioned earlier.

Basically:
If you only concern about tenderness, then any Prime grade beef (Cioffi or GI) in Canada would be good enough.  Cioffi is still cheaper than Granville Island. Like buying a BMW vs Mercedes.
If you are looking for something that blow your taste bug away and you think you are ready to appreciate that, then Cioffi Dry Aged is the next step.  Like buying a Zonda.

What did you get?
Was it dry aged that you have ask someone to get it from the special fridge or just the normal "Wet aged" ones in the showcase?

作者: Look4chrisng 時間: 2013-4-11 11:36

I think I got the dry aged one. You know, the kind with green and yellow mold outside. I also told all my friends to go get some. I really don't now where you can get dry aged beef anywhere in Vancouver. (I went to Windsor on Main street, no luck).

For a 1 inch streak, get out your cast iron pan and get the pan as hot as you can. 2 min each side. (It won't stick to the pan since the meat has so much fat). Man, it is heavenly good.

If anyone has deep pocket, please buy some aged kobe beef and report back to us asap.

Do they have dry aged NY steak? I prefer that over ribeye.

dunno. I asked for aged steak and that was what they gave me. I was told it was AAA Canadian rib steak. I honestly don't know the different in cuts. But you won't be sorry one way or the other.

Make some mashed potato to go with the steak, ie something lighter, more blend in flavour, and you are good to go.

I suggest that you should know what you are eating.
How much was the AAA Dry age?

No one does Dry age kobe, it's a waste of both.
