Entrecote dry aged Holstein NED

Entrecôte Dry Aged Holstein NED

In the Netherlands, Holstein cattle are best known as dairy cows, but thanks to their longer lifespan they produce beef with greater depth of flavour. This makes the breed particularly well suited for dry aging. The entrecôte is cut with the fat cap intact, allowing the meat to develop extra flavour during the aging process.

What is an entrecôte?

An entrecôte is cut from the short loin of the beef. This part of the animal is used very little, resulting in meat with a fine texture. The outer fat cap melts during cooking and gives the steak its distinctive flavour. It’s a cut that performs beautifully both in the pan and on the grill, and is loved for the balance between tender meat and the fat that adds extra character.

What makes Holstein special

Holstein cattle grow at a steady pace and are given time to develop flavour. During the dry aging process, moisture slowly evaporates and the flavours become more concentrated. The fat cap plays an important role, as it protects the meat and adds depth during cooking. The result is an entrecôte that is firm, responds well to heat, and delivers a rich beefy flavour.

At The Butchery, you can easily order this dry aged entrecôte online. If you place your order in the morning, you’ll receive it the same evening in the Netherlands and Belgium.

How do you cook an entrecôte?

  1. Remove the entrecôte from the refrigerator at least one hour in advance so the meat can come to room temperature.
  2. Pat the entrecôte dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a pan with a small amount of oil.
  4. Place the entrecôte on its fat edge first and hold it upright with tongs until the fat is nicely browned.
  5. Then lay the entrecôte flat in the pan and sear both sides for about one minute per centimetre of thickness.
  6. While cooking, continuously spoon the hot fat and juices over the meat for extra flavour.
  7. Remove the entrecôte from the pan and let it rest for about ten minutes under aluminium foil.
  8. Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.

Tip: If you’re cooking on gas, keep the steak moving slightly. If you’re cooking on induction, leave the steak in place as much as possible.
