Denver Steak | Intoku Grandmaster Akaushi Beef

The Denver Steak is a relatively new cut of beef. It was born in 2009 as a result of a research project called "the Beef Checkoff".

The project was led by meat-science professors at the University of Florida and the University of Nebraska. The goal of the program was to identify and promote new and potentially more affordable cuts of meat and they were VERY successful at it.

How successful? Well, lets just say the Denver steak is the fourth most tender muscle section of a heifer, steer, or cow. They are also extremely juicy and full of flavor. 

The denver comes from the chuck of the steer. In Japanese restaurants it is commonly used for shabu shabu or yakiniku grilling. It was featured in Wall Street Journal's 2019 "Grill Stars".

What Does A Denver Steak Taste Like?

Rich, buttery smooth flavor. Think of a NY Strip mixed with a short rib.

We recommend seasoning with kosher salt, and grill until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side. You can use a grill or a cast iron skillet. Either way, they will taste amazing. Cut against the grain. DO NOT OVERCOOK.

GRANDMSATER AKAUSHI BEEF

This is Grandmaster Akaushi Beef, premium American Wagyu or Wagyu Cross F1 which is produced from cattle that are between 24 and 30 months of age, with minimum feeding of 300 days. All cuts are wet aged for a period of 30 days.

Moist aging helps these cuts in preserving moisture (each steak is wet-aged in a bag). With NO hormones or antibiotics, these steaks are high in monounsaturated fats and Oleic Acid, as well as having a BMS7+ marbling score. They are DNA verified for individual pedigree.
