Dry Aged T-bone Arouquesa

The dry aged T-bone from Arouquesa is a classic steak that combines two textures in one cut: beef tenderloin on one side and entrecote on the other. The meat is aged on the bone for a deep, full flavor and a firm structure. During aging, moisture slowly evaporates, increasing flavor concentration. A true steak for those who appreciate character.

What is a T-bone?

The T-bone is cut from the short loin of the beef. The distinctive T-shaped bone separates two cuts: the tender beef tenderloin and the slightly firmer striploin. The bone helps the meat retain heat during cooking and adds extra flavor. With dry aging, the meat matures for several weeks in a chilled environment with controlled humidity, resulting in a more compact texture and deeper flavor.

Arouquesa

Arouquesa is an ancient cattle breed from Portugal that lives in the mountainous regions of Arouca. The animals graze freely and feed on grass, herbs, and leaves. This gives the meat a distinctive, full flavor and a fine texture. The breed is rare and well known in Portugal for its quality and natural origin. Arouquesa beef is often used in traditional dishes but is also perfect for the grill or pan.
