45 day ribeyes

Firetruck

Yesterday I pulled the ribeyes out of the fridge after the long 45 day stay. I did not weigh it so I don't know how much it lost but it was consideribly smaller.

I think the flavor is so much better than when I did the 28 day steaks. I love the flavor of the "rind" but not so much the texture.

I mixed some EVOO with kosher salt and finely chopped garlic. Heated it to get some of the flavor distributed through the oil. I put the steaks in a zip lock bag and poured the mixture in and hot tubbed for about an hour while I egged the potatoes and made the salad. When the potatoes were done I opened the egg and got the fire hot and threw on the steaks. I probably grilled them for about 3 minutes per side at about 400 degrees and got them to 125 internal. For me they were perfectly done.

Here they are out of the fridge


and sliced up


plated




finally some grilled pineapple with dp pineapple head on the outside then sliced and sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnemmon


Looking forward to having the other 4 steaks soon.

Newbie obviously, but are you aging the meat here? I have done this with deer meat but no where near that long.

Teach me Master! LOL

How about that! Two of us posting 45 day ribeye reports within an hour! I too like the dry bark, though I liked it better on my 35 day than my 45 day. But the key is trim it off AFTER you grill it if you don't like it - not before - there's too much taste to lose trimming before!

Hey Jojo that looks pretty good

Nice looking steaks Firetruck. Ya making me hungry! We are boiling up some shrimp tonight but now I think I want a steak!

Firetruck

I aged it in a spare fridge. I keep it around 34 degrees. I set it directly on the rack.

Firetruck

I agree with leaving it on. The first time, I trimmed it off and only left it on one. I learned my lesson on the first try.

Firetruck

thanks Ken, it tasted great

Firetruck

Firetruck

Between my "regular" job and the fire house :laugh:, I haven't had much time to even think about it. I'm just glad I remembered they were in there.

That's pretty cool there. Good on ya. Love to try that. I aged a steak a few days. LOL. Didn't even know 45 days (let alone 35) was an option.

AWESOME!!! I wish I could be that patient! :laugh:

Firetruck

I wouldn't try a single steak more than about a week.

Firetruck

Thanks Rebecca, they were very tasty
