26.6# 45 Day Dry Aged Ribeye-1 bone 4# steak reverse seared
Options
Inspired by @Darby_Crenshaw and @DMW's post, I picked up this 26.6# bone in choice ribeye at my local butcher shop and put it in the basement fridge to dry age. Kept kids out over the holidays by having them put their drinks in the RTIC 45.
Really went 44 days (call me a cheater) but that's how the timing worked out.
After dry aging, I broke it down into a few single bone steaks and a couple of roasts. I only trimmed the ends.
I reverse seared a single bone steak (about 4#) at 275 dome to 115 and then fiery hot. Final temp 132 on thermapen.
My awesome wife made loaded potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and while the beef rested, I egged some broccoli finished with parm.
What i really ate.
What I loved: the end edge that was exposed during aging and the increased depth of beef flavor overall. What was a bummer: the spinalis muscle (cap) was desiccated and really not very good. Thanks for looking!

That's great. I so want to do this. Need another fridge...

Very nice ribeye

No you don't really. Just a wife who will bear with you as she too will be amazed and rewarded for the patience needed. My wife initially balked at the idea, so I suggested using a short legged wire rack for air circulation sake. Then placed on the bottom of the kitchen refrigerator and shoved out of sight it should soon be forgotten about. Start sweet talking her, my man!theyolksonyou said:That's great. I so want to do this.

Jason,you should almost more because it's fun. As @RRP states you can hide it. Odorless no, no bad odor though. As@DMW stated, the beefiness is special.theyolksonyou said:That's great. I so want to do this. Need another fridge...Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga -

That was an excellent presentation of dry aged cooks. Thank you for sharing. I will try that towards the end of summer / early fall this year."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Nice work brother

I'm worried about the spinalis on mine, too. Next time I'm going to ask the butcher for a NAMP 103 or 107 rib. I couldn't pass up the deal on the Prime grade rib roast I found at Costco right after New Years.
-
looks good, man. i find the spinalis is the crispiest part, my favorite part. not too dry at all (except, well, crispy does mean dry, i admit). wonder if fridges vary in their humidity, maybe yours is drier?
for me, the exterior is the beefiest part, being the driest part.
anyway, glad it was an overall plus.

My problem is more space than the wife. She know who runs, never mind
