What goes with Dry-Aged Beef?
Dry-aged beef is defined by a controlled maturation process, not by a particular cut. The cut, ageing conditions and duration affect its concentration and texture. Work from a professionally prepared, trimmed steak rather than treating the desiccated outer surface as an ordinary edible crust.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Dry-Aged Beef?
Give the steak a distinct supporting structure: a potato component for substance, a measured acidic sauce for contrast, or a small aromatic garnish. If another aged or fermented element is used, keep it concentrated and limited rather than repeating the same intensity throughout the plate.
