Every Shula steak is hand selected and sets the bar for the highest quality standards and specifications for Steak Houses worldwide. For example:

12 oz. Filet Mignon Only the two (2) premium most center cuts are accepted from the entire tenderloin.
16 oz. NY Strip Each 13 lb. strip loin yields just six (6) premium center cuts.

What is the Custom Aging Process?
Aging is a process used to tenderize and develop flavor in steaks. Shula's uses the wet aging process over dry aging for increased tenderness and preferred flavor. With the advent of vacuum packaging along with increased efficiency in beef processing and transportation, wet aging avoids the inconsistencies and flavor differences that may be associated with the dry aging process. Shula's custom cuts are cut fresh, placed in Cryovac®, sealed and aged individually according to their specific cut. Shula's steaks are aged a minimum of 18 days with an average of 28 days to bring out the optimum flavor and tenderness for each steak.
