OUR BEEF PRODUCERS

All our steaks are handpicked from the most unique and well-respected meat programs in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Grilled to your liking, seasoned with sea salt, fresh cracked pepper served with lemon and your choice of sauce

OUR NIOKA SIGNATURE BLACK ANGUS

Nioka Signature beef is sourced from the Hope family Nioka Farm located at the foothills of the Barrington Tops in the Upper Hunter Valley. Grass fed until ready for finishing, then the cattle are brought to the pastures adjacent to Hope Estate. Finished on a 120-day grain fed program incorporating the spent grain from our brewery and distillery production. Full carcass utilisation is an integral part of our finishing program, maximising the range of cuts harvested from each animal. We break into Wet Aged, Dry Aged and Production.

WET AGED

Wet Aged meat is meat that has been stored in vacuum packaging for a period of time to flavour and tenderise the meat. Enzymes inside the meat work to break down the connective tissues inside the muscle increasing the tenderness of the meat. We age it in our meat cellar for a minimum of 60 days.

DRY AGED

Our Dry Aged Program with our Nioka Signature beef aging in our meat cellar for over 100 days. This time-honoured process produces a rounder, sweeter, flavour of remarkable intensity of each selected cut. Dry-Ageing changes beef by two means, the concentration and saturation of the natural flavour, as well as the tenderisation of the meat texture during the ageing process. **Known as the holiest of holies of Italian cuisine, the Florentine-style beef steak is prepared exclusively with dry-aged beef. The cut needs to be at least three fingers wide so that when the meat is grilled over a very hot flame, a nice, slightly charred crust forms on the outside of the steak while the inside remains succulent. As any true Tuscan will insist, this dream of a steak should only be eaten ‘sanguinoso’, meaning rare with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, salt.
