The most expensive meat in the world?

And I though a SRF gold grade brisket was expensive! What are your thoughts on a 15 year dry age steak?

    I find his methods intriguing for sure. However not being one of the Rockafellers, I don't think that ordering is in my future. Prices are just a tad out of my reach. Interesting read nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

  • something is bunkum here.

    he's freezing it, right?  well, aging occurs when enzymes break the proteins (flavorless) into amino acids.  the longer it ages, the more protein is broken down and the further the amino acids can be broken down themselves, creating new flavors.

    but i believe that this requires temperatures well above the temps he is at.  it's a chemical reaction after all.

    maybe they still occur at some ridiculously slow rate, at his temps, and in fifteen years it achieves something.  i dunno.

    but this should encourage those of you who wonder if frozen food goes bad (as in 'unsafe') in the freezer after a few years.  nope.  perfectly safe.  quality is a concern

    the other thing....  moving air across a frozen organic food (meat, etc.) causes dessication.  the water in the meat would sublimate into the air.  this is literally freeze drying

    something's fishy here.

    I wondered about this part as well. However I also wonder did they held back info as it is "propetiary method" that they use. Maybe there is a step that we are not hearing. However I agree with you that it raises certain questions written as it is.

    That is a neat story, I know the second most expensive cut of meat is anything I hunt, between elk out west and white tails around here by the time I pay for tags, gear, guns, and gadgets, I am around $500.00 a pound so says my wife ;)  And by no means am I speaking of taste, just expense...  :s

    @Smoker317, I'm just posting to let you know that you ruined my day.  My son and I pulled in a large Bluefin tuna on a charter trip last summer.  I hadn't calculated the price per pound of the meat we got from it but when I factor in all the tuna trips where we didn't get a keeper it comes to over $100/pound. 

    But I'm pretty sure we'll get one next summer and that will drop the price considerably...

    Sorry @Foghorn, didn't mean for that to happen, but what I tell my wife is that we can't put a price on "natural, free range, organic, hormone, antibiotic free" meat; it is after all for the health of the children...   So drink my kool-aid and that ought to at least make you feel a little better.  LOL  B)

    @Smoker317 Duck is pretty pricey as well when you add in the duck boat, the dog, decoys, etc.

    Meat from my hunting and fishing trips cost a lot. I fish mostly for bass and 100% of those get tossed back. Figure boat, insurance, gas, etc., and return with zero fish 99% of the time. Those I do bring back are expensive. And I go Whitetail hunting 200 miles away. I might shoot a deer once every 4-5 years. I'm not mad at them anymore. All I like from them is venison summer sausage and jerky which is expensive ($240). So gas, food, processing, 8-9 trips down and back each year, guns, bow, ammo, more guns, etc. It's not cheap.

    Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll go broke.

    I'm not sure I would like vintage meat, but it sure is interesting.

    The energy required to keep it at -47C and with a 75mph breeze for 15 years must be tremndous.  Imagine the carbon footprint.
