About us
At Chicago Steak Company, we invite you to taste tradition. Since 1865 with the founding of the Union Stock Yards, Chicago has been at the heart of high-quality American meats. Chicago Steak Company proudly carries on that tradition. We specialize in hand-cut, Mid-West raised, USDA Prime beef - in short, the very best steaks your money can buy. We raise, trim, and age our steaks using centuries-old techniques, then vacuum-seal each individually, locking in flavor and freshness.
Chicago Steak Company
When you bite into a Chicago Steak Company steak, you’re tasting quality that goes back generations. You will taste our commitment to tradition in every Chicago Steak Company steak as our steaks are sourced exclusively from Mid-West raised heritage cattle. This selective sourcing gives our steaks the prized tenderness, marbling, and flavor that can only come from superior growing conditions and bloodlines.
Our steaks are then aged for four to six weeks to develop the complexity of flavor demanded by 5-star restaurants, steakhouses, and discerning steak lovers. We offer wet-aged and dry-aged steaks - according to your tastes - using aging techniques that go back generations. With the largest Dry Aging Facility in the Mid-West we have created a unique flavor profile that is second to none and we are the leader in Dry Aging Beef nationwide. Our steaks are trimmed by butchers the old-fashioned way, hand-carved with expert precision to remove extra tissue and fat. The result is an exceptionally tender and flavorful steak, bite after beefy bite.
USDA Prime - The Top 2% of All Beef
Chicago Steak Company is dedicated to bringing you the very best in beef, which is why we specialize in Dry Aged USDA Prime steaks. With our state of the art Dry Aging room we artisan age each steak up to 6 weeks for a robust, nutty, flavor profile. USDA Prime is the highest grade awarded by the USDA to beef, accounting for only the top 2% of all beef raised by American ranchers. Our company also offers Upper 1/3 USDA Choice beef. These are steaks that have just missed the cut-off point for USDA Prime, and deliver comparable quality for a lower price. Nothing, however, quite matches the tenderness and flavor of USDA Prime beef.
The USDA Prime shield signals superior marbling, tenderness, and flavor. Abundant marbling is the trademark of a USDA Prime steak. Marbling - the thin white streaks of fat that “marble” a great piece of beef - is considered the greatest sign of a quality steak. As a well-marbled steak cooks, its fat melts, coating your steak in buttery, beefy flavor. This is why 5-star restaurants and resorts go to such great lengths to exclusively serve USDA Prime steaks.
Some other wholesalers reject USDA grading in favor of their own & in-house” grading systems. Usually, this is their way of passing off lower-quality steaks while raking in USDA Prime prices. At Chicago Steak Company, we advise consumers to always look for the USDA shield, ensuring the quality of your purchase.
