Prime Aged Bone-in Prime Rib Steak, aka Cowboy Steak ($30/lb) “It’s a rib steak, not a ribeye,” says owner John Johnston. “We age it ourselves for sixty days, so it has a very robust, beefy flavor. It comes from the section between the shoulder and the loin, so, since it’s rib meat, it has the very best taste and is incredibly tender. As great as this cut is as roast beef, it can be an even better steak grilled in the summer. It’s wonderful.”
Prime Bone-in Sirloin Steak ($15/lb) “This is a very large, family-size steak," Johnston says. “You’re getting the boneless section of the sirloin—which most people see in the supermarkets—and the filet mignon. Because it’s so big, it’s not a restaurant or club steak. It’s great for entertaining at home, because it’s an impressive-looking cut that can feed four to eight people, instead of having to buy eight separate steaks. And, because it’s aged, it’s still a very tender piece of meat, even though it’s much leaner.”

Prime Porterhouse ($26.95/lb; $29.95/lb dry-aged) “Our porterhouse gives you the best of both worlds: the tenderness of the filet and the taste of the shell steak,” declares Executive Chef Christopher Giuliano. “And it’s cooked on the bone; it’s amazing stuff. Our dry-aged version is aged for twenty-eight to thirty-five days, and, as it dries, the enzymes inside break down the meat, making it very tender, and richer and deeper in flavor—a luscious piece of meat.”
Prime Bone-in Ribeye ($25.95/lb; $29.95 dry-aged) “This is for people who want prime rib and want to be able to grill it. This ribeye is in between a filet mignon and a strip in tenderness. It has a wonderful flavor that adapts incredibly well to any kind of rub, marinade, or smoke from wood chips. Its marbled fat content can absorb flavor.”

“We buy the whole animal, sourcing them ourselves directly from farmers upstate,” says owner Cynthia Brennan. “The animals are all grass-fed, no antibiotics, and, during the processing, our meat isn’t mixed with anyone else’s.”
Prime Bone-in Ribeye ($28/lb) “This is a nice, classic steak to grill—the best qualities of being grass-fed are in evidence here. The meat is leaner than meat from factory-fed animals; it has a richer flavor, and it’s healthier—our grass-fed ribeye is rich in omega-threes.”
Prime Flat-Iron, Flank, and Flap Steaks ($21/lb) “These three are superb for marinating, because they’re really thin, and really tender—and, best of all, they retain their juices in grilling.”
