Taste test....

NoVA Bill

I've been trying to decide if I like normal steak or dry aged steak better. So I took out a porthouse (I bought at Gaint $5.99/lbs) and some of my dry aged NY strips. One piece of the dry aged steak was an end cut so it was a treat during the rest.

Built the fire and targeted 450 dome for the cook.

Three minutes a side and pulled at 120. They rested while I sauteed the asparagus in EVOO with S&P.

Plated. I cut off the fillet for my wife when she gets home and took half of the NY Strip.

All gone and I'm stuffed!


Conclusion: Taste test was invalidated as the steaks were different cuts so I'll have to do it over. :woohoo:

LOL. If you need some help deciding, let me know.

Nice Bill. Did the two different cuts of meat require two different kinds of wine??

Hey Boss,

No wine tonight, had a little Jim Beam during the cook. I like where you were going though! (file that one away for future use).

Thanks!

Hey Chappy, thought I might get some volunteer taste testers. :laugh:

Hey Molly,

Thanks!

I did some 28 day aged ribeye and thought they were really good. I did a taste test with some regular ribeyes also. The problem was the regular ribeyes were some of the best ones I had had in a long time. But, I will continue to do the dry aging in the future. I really liked the taste of them.

NoVA Bill

I'm thinking I'll like dryaged Ribeyes better. The NY was aged for 28 days, that may have been a week to long given they're a bit leaner. Need to get rid of my stash of steaks in the frig then I'll do a ribeye sub-primal.

BTW both cuts of steak were delicious tonight.

Brillant rationalization Bill! Looks as if you're 'forced' into eating more steak, you poor soul.
