The District: Seville Steak and Seafood
123 E. Government St.
The two things that make The District’s steak shine are the grade of meat, and the fact that they are dry-aged, a process only possible for higher grades of meat with a large, evenly distributed fat content. If you think your steak tastes extraordinarily exceptional, it’s on purpose. Due to the select criteria, dry-aged beef is hard to find. The process concentrates and saturates the meat’s natural flavor and tenderizes the texture. At The District, the moisture is evaporated from the muscle, concentrating the meat’s flavor and taste, according to The District website. Then, the beef’s natural enzymes break down the connective tissue in the muscle, making the beef more tender. Once the meat is aged in The District’s temperature and humidity-controlled meat locker, the beef is flame broiled in the 1,600-degree oven before being prepped on your plate.
