What cigar did you light up to celebrate the moment??? Cuban Davidoff Dom Perignon from 1991 would be appropriate ! Hahaha thank you man!!! This is the trip I’ve been dreaming of for years, so pumped it worked out!!! We’re driving back from SD right now so I’ll definitely grab a celebratory stick tomorrow! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ReturnFreeRisk Posted June 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2021 First attempt at dry aging my steaks at home. Did a whole ribeye for 30 days. With the reduced moisture I had to carefully cook. Hardwood charcoal grilled, 500F, 4 mins each side indirect, about 1.5 min each side direct and they were medium-well. Great concentrated flavor, definite nutty undertone. Will do a whole strip loin nextSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted June 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2021 finally getting over the dreaded lurgy (now just the extremely inconvenient lurgy). managed the early walk. spectacular this time of year as the whales have started their migration north and watching them leaping for joy is so amazing. no photos as trying to stand on a beach and take pics of whales at sea is a bit like trying to photograph whackamole. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great concentrated flavor, definite nutty undertone. Will do a whole strip loin next Good job on the trimming and certainly look dry aged. What product did you use to dry age? We are out of beef need to buy a NY Prime Strip at Costco. I like to age the strips more than the rib. I'll buy a 2 or 3 rib roast and age those as a single event, but the strip is like 15 steaks to cut when we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breathable membrane bags I got are called UMAi. They are on Amazon. I don’t have a vacuum sealer and didn’t want to buy one for this single use instance so I took the whole cut and submerged in water to push about 95% of the air out before tying it off. Had to leave a bit of moisture on the meat so the bag wants to adhere under the water pressure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm...reminds me of a crawfish boil some locals took me to in Thibodaux, Louisiana some 30 years ago. It remains one of the best meals I’ve ever experienced. The gator knows I’m right.

Had to leave a bit of moisture on the meat so the bag wants to adhere under the water pressure I use dryagebags.com which I assume is the same thing. I do have a commercial vacuum sealer, but like you water idea! The bags work best when the meat is really wet. Not touching for a week after it is sealed. I use cello wrap on the cut end of the strip as I work it down. Get the wrap clean to the meat and I also try to square the meat up before sealing. The odd angled end ends up being a dog treat if the cut is not square before it dries. Not that my dog minds. She gets some of the dried pieces that are trimmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trim you see at the bottom of my pic was grilled firstly so I could taste test a bit and better judge cook time, but secondly was done as dog treat.
