Seriously? That's the best way you can defend your side? If you're so adamant about this, let's have a logical discussion instead of blindly posting links(anyone can put something on the internet, it doesn't make it true).

That was sort of a tongue in cheek comment. My apologies to you and all other Winn-Dixie employees.

With that said, please explain to me how the enzymatic processes that cause the "flavor concentration and tenderness" actually occurs. If you are cutting off the "bad" part of the whole cut, aren't you cutting off the only affected part? Aren't the enzymes causing the proposed positive benefits actually the same enzymes that are also causing you're said spoilage? So, what is the difference? Why age a full cut at all, if all that you are going to do is trim the affected area?


In dry aging the bacteria in already present in the steak. The predominant bacteria is aerobic pseudomonas. The bacteria produces enzymes which is a catalyst to relax connective tissue along with moisture evaporation of the steak which is close to 70% water.

Inside your fridge there is other bacteria that will cross contaminate and produces different sets of enzymes which will spoil the meat. There is both toxic and benign bacteria. In beef you really want the enzymes already present to do the work for you only. This work is also done inside the meat so what you cut away is not the only meat that was 'worked' on. You trim away the outside because it lost almost all moisture and likely picked up odors from your cooler as well not to mention would be the parts most suspect to external bacteria and mold.

The only issue is that you THINK you ate "Dry Aged" Beef. Not almost Spoiled beef.

Is CAD dead yet? If so I say we have a party and have Applebees cater it.

Of course geauxt has to fire up the brinkman and get us some reduced steaks (I mean aged beef) so we can send him out in style!

Here's the 2nd part of that Good Eats episode. Guess what he does? He ages a single steak for 4 days.

Cad I wouldn't have gone as long as you did but you can most definitely do single steaks. Got your back here buddy!

This is the greatest thread ever. Why are u aging them they will taste the same as one you go buy at the store today. Especially since you are aging them single.

Have you ever had an aged steak?

They taste totally different, why do you think high-end restaurants age them?

Ok... seriously.. Like said before there isnt a SINGLE steakhouse in the country that follows this method. They would be shut down if they aged a steak for 28 days like this.

Show me a single menu that says aged to perfection for 8 days in our bacteria infused cooler.

BTW most stores have their steaks on hand for 8 days. Freshness isnt much of a problem when they are wrapped for that time and in many ways they will wet age in their packaging. Would you want to walk into the meat section with a bunch of meat laying out exposed though?

Did even read my whole post previous to that one? I said "I wouldn't put them on for that long but you definitely can" Alton Brown knows his shite and he aged a steak by itself for 4 days in his fridge. It can be done.

As anal about bacteria and contamination and shite as Alton Brown is, if he is aging single steaks then I think it may be okay. That guy is as OCD when it cones to cleanliness as they come

Aldon Smith? A DE from Missouri is a steak expert?

If you read what I stated before.. For a short term there is not much problem with this. For extended periods of time which 8 days exposed is pushing this isnt aging.. Its spoiling.
