I'm so excited to d o this video with you guys today, because we're unlocking the secrets of dry-age d beef. When it comes to dry-aged meat, there's nothing more prized than a tasty dry-aged steak. When it comes to steaks, dry aging creates a tenderness, richne ss, and depth of flavor that you just can't find in other cuts of meat. Dry agin g takes time, care, and craft, which is why supermarkets rarely sell dry-aged be ef. Instead, dry-aged steaks are usually found in five-star restaurants and high -end steakhouses, many of whom have their own custom-built dry age lockers. So, how does dry aging happen, and what makes a great dry-aged steak? To start with, you need great beef. USDA has three top grades for beef: USDA Prime, USDA Choic e, and USDA Select. If you want a truly steakhouse-quality steak, you need to st ick with USDS Prime, which has the best marbling and tenderness of any USDA grad e. Next comes the dry aging itself. Dry aging takes place in specialized refrige rators called aging lockers. These lockers are precisely controlled for temperat ure and humidity. Butchers use racks or hangers so that air can flow over the me at's surface, which is essential for the dry aging process. Beef is then left to age for multiple weeks at a time, usually 21 to 28 days. During this time, thre e things happen to make dry-aged steaks extra-flavorful. First, moisture starts to evaporate. With less moisture, flavor becomes more concentrated, meaning each steak has a more intense and beefy taste. Second, enzymes in the beef start to break down tough muscle fibers. This tenderizes beef, which creates steak so ten der, you could cut it with a fork. Finally, these same enzymes create new, riche r flavors. This is why dry-aged beef has a more indulgent, umami-rich, and compl ex flavor profile than unaged or wet-aged steaks. Because of their superior tend erness and flavor, dry-aged steaks have become a luxury item among steak lovers and gourmets around the world. If you're looking for an amazing, truly steakhous e-quality steak at home, be sure to look for dry-aged USDA Prime beef. I'm Mark Kranenberg.

Did you kno w that you could have the ultimate steak experience eating a hamburger? These bu rgers are made from steak trimmings of USDA prime beef, which is top two percent of beef in the US. As you can see these burgers are all individually vacuum pac ked, so you can pull them out as you need them, no waste. Not all our burgers co me like this, just the USDA prime and Wagyu burgers, these are restaurant style burgers. So, as you can see they're really thick, which means they end up really juicy. The first thing you need to know is your grills gotta be smoking hot, I like to bury the needle, so to speak. Crack the grill open. I always go in, and put a little bit of oil on the grill, that's the secret right there. Oh, yeah. G et that grill nice and black. That's a thing of beauty right there. Crack the pa ckage. That's nice and juicy. Slap it on that grill. Hear that? Beautiful. Don't forget to put you Chicago Steak Spice on it. I like to put my on when it's on t he grill. I like to put a nice heavy layer. Now we're gonna close it up and let it sit for three minutes. In the meantime, we're gonna put a little bit of oil o n our bun, and get it ready for toasting. I just like to put a little bit of oil , some of the good stuff right there. You might ask, what does a guy do for thre e minutes while he's waiting to flip his burger? I tell you what, you play a lit tle bit of Tetris. You got your steak burgers on the grill, you got a beautiful view, what could be better? All right. It looks like our buns are ready, it's lo oking about perfect, if you ask me. Throw those off to the side. The three minut es is up. I like to put it on a new spot on the grill. You can never have too mu ch Chicago Steak Spice. All right. Six minutes is up, it's time to open it up an d get this party started. My mouth's watering.

I wanted to p ersonally thank you, first of all, for enjoying and receiving some of our perfec tly packaged product at your home. What I'm going to do is to make sure now to g o through the process with you at what exactly have you purchased. Again, thank you very much for purchasing that. I wanted to make sure that you received this product, and boxed perfectly packaged, washed, and insulated, to your house. Upo n receiving that we will want to make sure to open the package up correctly. Let 's just at this point open this up. There we go. Gotta go through all the tape j ust to make sure everything is perfect in here. There we go, so now, up. We have a couple of little goodies in here for you. The first thing is going to be your packaging slip just to make sure that you actually are receiving the product th at you have ordered. We take very great pride in making sure to check every sing le order that we process so that all of our customers are happily satisfied with the product that they receive. This is going to be this. In regards to your reg istration card that you receive right here, this card is going to be packaged sp ecifically for you and has at the bottom as you can see right here, a registrati on number that has been designed specifically for your order and processed just for you. Again, a little touch for you just to make sure that we take care of ou r customers the way we like to. When opening up the card you will see some instr uctions on how to cook the product, thaw the product, just to help you out and m aking sure that you enjoy the quality steak that you have just purchased. On top of that, we always want to make sure that you come back, so we have included a gift check for $25 that will, hopefully, bring you back after you've enjoyed thi s great steak. As well as a little Thank You card for shopping with us. That wil l give you additional deals from free lobsters to 10 or 15% off based on the ord ers that you have or will be purchasing from us as well. One caution that I want to make sure that we all look at, which is very important, is that this product has been packed in dry ice. You want to make sure never to touch dry ice. For t his purpose we have wrapped every piece of dry ice in here separately to protect you. It is very normal that the product may come to you without any dry ice lef t in the box. Now that we've gone through this, let's open up this little box of goodies here. What we will have is on your first box here from the Chicago Stea k Company, when we look at it what we have here is our chicken breast with lemon pepper. That you actually have purchased from us, so I'm sure you will enjoy th at. In the second box, what we have, we are going to have gourmet beef burgers. Obviously we will have burgers on the grill. I'm sure you will enjoy them. If I could I will come with you and enjoy them with you. In the last box, oh you real ly know what's good, we actually have here our Chicago best seller. In our best seller we are going to have the filet mignon, the boneless strips, the rib-eye, as well as, our top sirloin steak. Again, this is our best seller. I know you wi ll enjoy this product. When you see inside the box you will see a little bit of the dry ice left packaged. We want to make sure just to leave this in here. Do n ot touch it. Put the lid back on. We'll put this box aside for right now. If we look at our best seller we want to make sure that we are going to look this and open it properly. We are getting my little dandy knife right here. Here we are g oing to open it. It looks like you have just purchased a diamond at . What you s ee right here is the Chicago Steak Company little sticker wrapped perfectly so t hat you will see in here that you have your sirloin steaks perfectly cut and ind ividually cryovaced for your purpose. Your two filet mignon again as well cyrova ced perfectly for you. Your two rib-eye steaks cut specifically the way you have ordered it, as well as your two New York strips. Here we are with the product t hat is going to be in our Chicago best seller box of steak. The proper way now o f making sure that you get to enjoy the steaks is obviously that you will have t o thaw the product correctly. For this process you will remove it from the freez er. Place in your refrigerator anywhere from 24 to 36 hours just to make sure th at the product has the chance to thaw out properly under refrigeration. Upon ope ning up the product, you will see that the flesh of the meat is going to turn br ight red. That is called blooming, which is perfect. You will see a perfect prod uct that will come to you thawed out after 36 hours. Put it on the grill. The la [0:06:08]
