Dry Age "Cheating" on your steaks. Get the same great Steakhouse taste and texture at home

[bazookajoe]

now thats a nice piece of steak. i will have to try this out!

[brazoseagle]

No real review here, just my usual meatscspe. I decided to do a strip instead of ribeye, (won't do that again). Nothing is better than a Ribeye. I apologize for the amount of vegetables! I also threw one of my homemade brawts on the pit too. Finished up with some cocktails and the best ERDM CS I've ever had. Buttery, smooth and creamy.

Brazos, hi from oz! I followed your detailed instructions and my family ate the best home cooked steaks we have ever had tonight. Thankyou for your wisdom. Next time I need to cut down a little on the pepper and be more heavy with the salt, but this is all part of the process. Cheers!

While I'm on Steak Hiatus for a while, it's up to all of you to continue on the Meatscape Journey and post your own Steaksperiences in this thread so I can live vicariously through you. I'll leave you with this.

[ekert]

Steak hiatus? Isn't it blasphemous for a Texan to utter those words? lol

Try the dry ageing with some great Ribeye steak, works a dream,love your work Brazoeagle!

I tend to get good steaks from Costco. I usually take the steaks out 4-6 hours before I'm ready to grill (use a Vermont Castings gas grill which has lasted 13 years, best grill out there). My rub consists of kosher salt, black pepper, dash of cayenne, and garlic powder. Right before putting the steaks on the grill, I douze a paper towel with virgin olive oil and pat the steak with the seasoning already on it. End up with a great steak that cost me about $10-$12 (and would normally cost $30-$40 in a restaurant).

I have a question for the OP. What is your take on trimming fat (I'm sure it depends on the cut). I end up not eating excess fat on the edges anyway, so should you leave it on? Does it add flavor? Thanks.

Your question really depends on quality of beef. On Prime, I never trim and never discard, it's the best part of the steak, and at such high heat and being Prime, the fat is so delicate and heat soluble, most of it melts into the meat adding an unmistakeable decadent flavor. For lower quality grades of meat, I might do some trimming if I plan to cook the steaks right away, but if I do my dry age on them, leave the fat you want to trim on through the aging process to add flavor, then before cooking trim some of the more drier and yellower bits off if you desire. ( save the trimmings and use them to cook some potatoes or mushrooms in, instead of oil!)

Going to give this a crack this weekend. Will post photos.
