Dry-aged. Grilled. Worth the wait.
Dry ageing is all about time, allowing the beef to develop a deeper, richer flavour and incredible tenderness before it ever reaches the grill.
Here, we take a closer look at our dry-aged striploin, from the ageing process to the final sear.
For those who appreciate a great steak, it’s the details that make the difference.

At BASQ, we’re particular about the beef we choose and proud to work with exceptional producers including O’Connor, Sher Family Farms and Mayura Station.
Because a great steak starts long before it reaches the grill.

From the butcher’s block to the flame. 🔥🥩
Head Chef Jaysen takes us through the preparation of a beautifully marbled Mayura Wagyu rump cap—also known as picanha.
Cut in-house, seasoned simply, grilled over an open flame and rested before slicing. The generous fat cap melts through the meat as it cooks, creating incredible flavour and tenderness.
The final verdict? “That’s so good.”
Experience it for yourself at Basq Essendon Fields.
