48 day dry aged rib steaks

I took the advice of Darby_crenshaw and didn't do any trimming (other than the ends). The results were fantastic! I did a reverse sear until the IT hit 120 and then rested for 30 before searing in cast iron. Dinner was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Thank you!

    Right on!  The "rotten meat guy" (aka darby) is the best.

    My dry aging project just started yesterday. I had planned on starting it two weeks ago but I needed some time to get the fridge clean and odor free. It's my meat fridge so it often smells strongly of smoke and rub aromas. Mine is boneless though. Already have a line-up of friends that are scheduling a visit for about Sept. 1.  =)

    If I did my math right that means you are aging for 49 days. That's cool...but have you tried dry aged beef before? While I personally love 45 days so 49 is fine with me, but what about your buddies coming on 9-1?

    @RRP - they just want to make sure it's done aging and cut. I put in a piece that is about 19# so I should have a fair amount. I'm planning on 45 days so we'll see how this first run goes.

    Two reasons. First, a dry steak allows for a much better crust when you sear. Second, allowing the temp to come down helps protect against cooking the steak while searing.  The goal is to sear as hot and fast as possible so just the outside is seared. The steak has already been cooked to an exact IT.
