First shot at dry aged beef.

Just bought these 28day dry aged Ribeyes today and cooked them up for the wife and I at 575F on my CI grid. What you pros think??? Here's the before and after.

    Good job! BTW once you get hooked on dry aged beef then "grocery store red" will never be the same to you! In case you didn't notice aged beef tends to cook faster so cooking to internal temperature is far more important than cooking to time!

    Looks really good.
    I was debating to stop at this meat market in the way home to try mg first dry age steak. I was curious if 28 days was long enough, that's how long they dry age. Little pricey but I'll buy one steak. $14 a pound.

    It's really a matter of personal tastes. For instance I prefer my New York strips to be at least 28 days though 35 days is better. Then for rib eyes it prefer at least 45 days though 60 days are great. When you are aging them yourself it is merely a matter of patience! You know...hurry up and wait! LOL

  • If you really liked them start aging yourself. If you don't want to look at a bare primal cut of beef in the fridge talk to RRP. I'm starting some prime striploins this weekend.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Little Steven said to talk to you if I wanted to start aging my own... I loved the taste compared to the tradition "grocery store red" and would love to experiment with aging my own to really get the full experience of preparing and cooking a really great steak. I didn't know that going longer than the usual 28 days would work but I suppose if 28 days is good then 45 days has to be excellent! Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.

     

    And thanks to everyone for all of the compliments!
