56 Day Dry Aged Ribeyes

bradleya123

Bought a half ribeye roast for some dry aged ribeyes.  Used the dry aging steak wraps (below) and into the fridge in the garage.  Rotated it every 7 days.  The plastic wrap was a little difficult to remove but manageable.  We got 9 good steaks out of the half roast, if had less people over we would have cut them thicker.  Seasoned with Montreal Steak rub.  
I have to admit they tasted just ok.  They definitely cooked a lot faster then normal and we cooked to medium rare.  I don't think I'd try it again for that long of a period, maybe 21 days at most.  All in all just good steaks nothing out of this world which I expected, OBTW no left overs.  Sorry didn't get the money shot lots going on that afternoon.

Steaks look good to me. I did a 46 day dry age with a similar take away, not sure I would do it again for that long.

Not everyone has a taste for dry aged steaks.  I had one at a famous KC restaurant and was not impressed.

My buddy gave me a 52 day aged out of a kit like that.  I was a little scared by the smell, but the taste and texture were pretty good.  Would like something in the middle......20-30-40 day?  Might be not as "funky".  I wouldn't turn down another one though.
