Leeds chef takes delivery of 250-day aged steak

Believed to be the only one of its kind in Leeds, the steak comes from Hereford cows which have been grass fed in the Lake District. It is then salt aged in a Himalayan salt chamber to improve tenderness and flavour.

Andreas said: “The moisture loss during the process concentrates the flavour. During ageing, the meat loses weight. The longer the ageing, the bigger the wait loss.”
