It is beef left hanging in the cooler for a period of time before being cut.
Most beef is slaughtered, cooled then cut up within a day or two.
The theory is that the meat will start to decompose, thus be more tender. But it is cut and sold before it actually starts to rot.
It doesn't last as long in the fridge as regular beef.
If you're not going to eat it right away, freeze it.

Aged beef is exactly what the names states. The reason it is aged is so the beef can become greater in flavor. Also, it helps break down the muscle tissue and helps make it softer. It is usually stored at almost freezing temperatures.

Aged beef has been 'hung' for a few weeks in a cold storage area. Beef that has been aged has more taste and is more tender due to evaporation of water and a slow breakdown of connective tissue which normally makes it tougher.
