AGED BEEF

TWO BULLS STEAKHOUSE A REAL CHARCOAL GRILL

“When a beast is slaughtered, for reasons of economy, there’s a rush to get it butchered, vacuum packed and onto your plate as soon as possible. Your steak is often oozing blood and lacking any actual beefy flavour because it’s quite simply too fresh.”



B

ack in the day when you’d see whole quarters of beef being heaved on the shoulder of your local butcher, there would be upwards of four weeks between slaughter and fork.

Beef is unlike other meats and for the very best steak you need to leave whole beef loins and fore ribs to age on the bone until the ends blacken in a climate controlled chiller for several weeks or more. You’ll see this in our display fridges at the restaurant where our own 45 day aged T bones, sirloins and rib eye are matured before butchering. All of our steak at The Two Bulls is properly aged before grilling over real charcoal.

Properly aged beef needs to mature like a clothed wheel of vintage cheddar and it won’t spoil if this is done right. As the joint air dries the beefy flavours become more concentrated while natural enzymes tenderise the flesh. There’s a lot of waste due to moisture loss and excessive trimming which makes our dearest cut of beef even dearer but this is a tasty reward after all.

HOW TO

...Cook a Steak Properly “To grill a steak properly you need to understand that there are two entirely separate stages. One, grilling and colouring the surface. Two, warming it through to the required doneness.”

STAGE 1:

Grilling and colouring the surface of your steak

H

owever well done you like your steak, you must first do a rare steak and you must colour the surface well because that’s where the strongest flavours come from.

When the heat hits the flesh, a myriad of complex chemical reactions occur on the sizzling surface. Salty edges crisp and caramelise, as moisture is forced out and leaves a layer of grilled meat flavour. This is called The Maillard process and for the first stage... it is absolutely everything. Think of that sneaky first slice of a joint of roasted beef and you’ll understand.

Once you have your nicely coloured rare steak, take it away from the fire to somewhere relatively cool (anywhere below 500C to hold and stall the cooking) on the grill or onto a rack in a tray in a warm oven. You don’t have to do the second stage immediately if you’re not ready or in no hurry.

HOW TO

...Cook a Steak Properly “A beautifully grilled rare steak, warmed through slowly at 65C will become a perfectly succulent, medium rare one by the time you’ve finished your prawn cocktail and told a tall story.”

STAGE 2:

Warming your steak to the required ‘doneness’

Y

our steak is now away from the fire so we need to get it done to your liking. Rare or well-done are quite easy if you think about it, but medium-rare or medium are a little harder to get

right.

Either at a cooler part of the grill or in a pre-warmed oven you just need to warm it through until it is done to your liking.

Take it slowly, giving yourself time to adjust your hair and get the place organised for dinner. If you have your chips ready to drop into the hot oil and your salad nicely tossed then as long as you have your oven warmed you can enjoy cooking this meal and sit down to eat in a relaxed frame of mind.

Alternatively give us a buzz, book a table and we’ll do all of this and wash up for you too.
