Dry Aged Ribeye Success!!

Cashfan

Cooked up a nice dry aged rib eye last night. It was aged 47 days, was 2in thick and weighed about 2lb. It was terrific! It is the second piece I've had off the loin, the first one was the end piece that I accidentaly over cooked because I didn't realize it would cook as fast as it did. This one turned out perfect, I could cut it with a butter knife, and the flavor was unbelievable!! The dried crust burst with flavor.

Sprinkled with salt and pepper, then indirect with one piece of cherry at 250-275 for about 45min, then seared both sides for about a minute. Also grilled some diced potatoes with onion and spices in tin foil, and made another of @rrp's Triple Chocolate Cakes. 

I never thought I would be able to cook a meal this good, let alone do it all on a grill! I wasn't much of a cook a year and a half ago when I got the grill but that is changing in large part because of the help received on the forum.

Thank You to all on the forum who post cooks and help new people broaden their horizons!!!

That is an awesome looking steak- long wait but appears like it was worth it.

Patience is virtuous. You've clearly shown an aged primal and a patient chef can make $hit happen. Nice work!

That looks great.
The first time I cooked a dry aged ribeye I slightly overcooked it. 
It really is surprising how much faster the dry aged steaks cook.

Incredible cook, beautiful presentation. If that is not the full representation of perfection, then I will be at a loss, to attempt the explanation of that esteemed term.
