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 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.
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.
