I thought he survived the NoLA versus SoLA bitchfest. What happened? Delayed bannage or he did he do something else?

i once knew a butcher at my uncles store who would not take his steak home until it reached that brownish/green tint.

I've had this a few times, but it was straight from the butcher and the whole cut (not individual) so it made it much easier cutting the green off. Aged two weeks at a warmer than fridge temps. It looks nasty but is so tender.

Still I'd prefer fresh cut that day from butcher over aged.

Keep the pics coming. I'd like to try this myself and it's easier with something to compare to.


I assume you will shave off the sides when ready to cook?

Ummm you are REALLY not supposed to do it that way.. Aging a steak should be done WHOLE not individual. The fat cap that is around a whole good quality rib rack is a big reason steaks are allowed to age and not spoil.

Im not sure who gave you advice to do it this way but its not good advice. Hopefully the duration wont be much longer. You are spoiling steaks not aging them.

Before people start bitching

quote:

Be sure to follow each step carefully, for safety's sake.

1. Only the top grades of beef can be dry aged successfully. Use USDA Prime or USDA Choice - Yield Grade 1 or 2 (the highest quality of Choice) only. These have a thick layer of fat on the outside to protect the meat from spoiling during the aging process.

2. Buy a whole rib-eye or loin strip. [You cannot age individual steaks.] Unwrap it, rinse it well with cold water, and allow it to drain; then pat it very dry with paper towels.

We bought some at a Rouses in Houma and the guy who said we had to get the aged ones went on and on about how much better they were than fresh cut. I didn't find them to be anything special.

Otis has to run a cord from the front porch out to one of his Friggy- dares in the yard, and you trusted him?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Of course, this may kill you.
