The lady of the house and kids are in Chicago for the weekend so I decided to treat myself to an early Father's Day gift. Picked up a 28 day dry aged wagyu strip at the market. Decided on some fingerling potatoes done in the searing skillet as a side. Seasoned the potatoes with evo, salt and pepper. Steak got just salt and pepper. Potatoes and a blue cheese chicken bomb went on 30 minutes before the steak. Even though the steak was only a little over an inch thick(I asked for a thicker cut but, the c team working was unwilling to ablige) I went with a reverse finishing in the cast iron. Steak only took 8 minutes at 375 to get to an internal of 115. Thanks for looking.

    Nice slab and choice of adult beverage.

     Way back when I was a plank owner on the USS Kentucky. Instead of being christened with champagne per tradition, it was splashed with "Kentucky Champagne," a mix of bourbons from several distilleries. Additionally each crew member over the age of 21 got a commemorative bottle of Blantons. 

    Saved it for 11 years or so and drank it the day I retired from the Navy.

    Thanks for the compliments. This was only the 2nd time doing the wagyu and I was much more impressed this time. I liked using just salt and pepper instead of one of the normal steak rubs. It brought out more of an earthy/nutty flavor in the steak which I enjoyed. Sadly that bottle of Blantons is down to its final pull(good thing there is already a backup).

    I am really excited to start aging some beef even if it's not wagyu grade. Even though I have a 19cf refrigerator,sitting next to a 19cf freezer, she has always been hesitant(In her words "I'll through that somewhat rotting beef in the trash") to start the process. I have acquired a 2 year old fridge for the garage due to my parents recent kitchen remodel. The lady and I had a bargaining session and I am allowed to age as much meat in the 2nd fridge as I want, until which time she deems that it will not be allowed. I think I came out pretty good on this treaty!
