OT - Dry Aged Cheesesteaks
Recently dry aged a choice strip loin for 55 days. I usually use prime but this was on sale so I gave it a try. I didn’t want to go 55 days but it just happened.
Anyways when I cooked the first steaks SV style they were tough. They had good flavor just too much chew. I suspect they over dried from the extended time dry aging.
I decided they would make a good cheesesteak on the blackstone. Time to put the meat slicer to work. I cut them up paper thin and threw them on the blackstone with some baby Bella shrooms (we skipped the onions this time). Topped with some white American and provolone. Served with @RRP au jus and some crispy crowns. Washed it down with a Kuhnhenn Dripa.
These did not disappoint! The dry age flavor was noticeable and the ends crisped up real nice. We ate until we were uncomfortable

Nice call! Great idea to turn those into cheesesteaks. I had the same experience with dry-aged choice loin - good flavor but too tough.Maryland, 1 LBGE

Man this looks good. I don't have room for a meat slicer...but this makes me want a meat slicer.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Homemade bacon was the trigger for the meat slicer. It was so worth it! I went with just a 10” model to help save space and weight since I store it in the basement.

It’s this one. Absolutely zero complaints or issues so far. The tray doesn’t fit a belly flat so I just fold it in half and then slice flipping the meat along the way.RRP said:

Thanks! For just 3 bills that seems like a reasonable purchase price. I may be following suit!blairz212 said:

Nice! We did that with our leftover Christmas roast. Sliced it paper thin and made Philly Steak sandwiches for the New Years bowl games. Third year in a row. Never not yummy.Michiana, South of the border.
