F.A. DeRosa - USDA Prime Dry Aged Beef - Mountainside, New Jersey

Jose Castro

I had an amazing food experience yesterday visiting this Prime Meathouse. The atmosphere, knowledge, and genuine friendliness of the gentlemen working was a pure bonus.

I lived in NYC for 23 years and after eating in many of the top restaurants there, I can attest it - but the images speak for themselves - amazing beef that far bypasses anything I've enjoyed at numerous places.

Go! Enjoy the aging room, ask questions, then take something home that you and your loved ones will remember and want repeatedly. I will surely be back!

What a wonderful, old school butcher shop. Been to many fancy steakhouses in NY. Luger, Bowery Meat Co, Homestead and more... always good but just okay. We got the Porterhouse at 1 3/4" cut. It was amazing.

F.A. DeRosa serves Prime Dry Aged steaks that are beyond compare.

About 15 minutes after entering their immaculate shop in Westifield, you realize that you aren't there to buy food but to have an experience.

The journey starts when you walk in the door. Start by by breathing deeply taking in the dry aged bouquet. Next, let the butcher guide you through the cuts they offer. DeRosa's cuts are unique (primal cut) so the education is enlightening and the butchers are passionate about the lesson. Once you are prepared, pick your slab right from the fridge and watch the butcher work his magic.

Once home, throw it on the grill and wallow in the scent of an aged steak. At this point you have two decisions, platter it sliced and watch it become a social piece amongst your company. Or plate it and watch others silently contemplate thier lifetime choices of steak. It's that good.

Pro tip: Go with 1 1/2" cut, let sit out for two hours before grill, and only salt.

Excellent meat and service! You'll find the perfect steak there. Probably the best butcher shop in Jersey.

Absolutely wonderful experience and product, from the upfront and transparent discussion around pricing, to the expert selection and custom cut to order, to the ultimate end product cooked to perfection and enjoyment by all.

This is by far and away the best butcher I’ve seen in my life.

The have an exceptional selection of beef cuts, and the largest assortment of dry aged beef I have seen.

I had the porterhouse with the ‘tail’, which is essentially a piece of flank. It was aged 60-days, having a nice amount of “funk” but not too much. We served it at a dinner party for a couple who had never had dry aged beef and they enjoyed the umami flavor the aging imparts.

The most recent visit I purchased a 30-day dry aged ribeye, it was also phenomenal. I kept the meat on the bone (not frenched) and sous vide the whole piece for 90 minute at 129°. Finished with a searing torch. Again had a great flavor, less pungent than the 60-day, and more beefy.

Wow! Just absolutely wow! I am a steak guy. Always have been. When the pandemic hit back in 2020, I got into cooking steaks at home out of necessity. If I can't go to NYC's finest steak houses, I need to learn how to make the stuff at home. DeBragga, Pat LaFrieda, Snake River Farms, all have good delivery options and I tried them all. F.A. DeRosa smokes every one of those larger fine purveyors. The dry aged porterhouse from F.A. has become a staple in my grill routine. It is hands down the best porterhouse I have ever had. I have had probably 30 of them and have no desire to slow down. Stack it up next to Wolfgangs or the master of them all Peter Luger, F.A. DeRosa could supply those guys AND if you know your way around a grill you can easily surpass their quality in terms of cook and taste. If you live in NYC, love steak and are considering a move to the suburbs strongly consider Westfield just based on proximity to these guys. If you love steak and live within 150 miles of here make the pilgrimage. It is totally worth it. I have traveled with this stuff to friends houses in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Long Island City and they always demand more claiming its the best they have ever had. The owners are unbelievably friendly and quick with a tour of their shop and the meat locker. Come check this place out. If you love steak you will love F.A. DeRosa.

This place is amazing. Great family lineage of talented and knowledgeable butchers. Very friendly every time I visit. Well worth the cost of the cuts. I highly recommend shopping here to anyone looking for quality dry aged steaks. Their other offerings are also amazing, sausage, burger patties etc.
