Aging Beef Develops Tenderness and Flavor
Aging beef increases tenderness and flavor through controlled aging. Fresh cuts reach retailers in 6 to 10 days after slaughter. High quality beef may be aged 3 to 6 weeks at 34 to 36 degrees F, sometimes with a 2 day hold at 70 degrees F and ultraviolet light to curb bacteria. The process uses premium beef, higher costs, and indeed raises price per pound.
