Dry Aging 2 rib fillets.

Post by Pesto3 »

I picked up a whole Black Angus rib fillet last week. The plan is to dry age this using the Umai dry age bags.

So this beauty has been in for 7 days now

Yesterday I picked up a 3 star budget, grass fed rib fillet

I am going to dry age these for 28 days each. I may do the budget one a little bit longer though. Haven't decided yet.

I will post my results if anyone is interested in the end product.
Cheers.

I will do a weekly update with photos and progress. Well, progress will be the photos I guess. I'm looking forward to cutting into them and seeing how they taste.

I am not going to get into a debate over what is classed as dry aging as opposed to wet aging. The wet aging process in your link is nothing like the process the meat goes threw in the Umai dry aging bags.
Have a read of this

Anyway, I hope the steaks are good. That's all I am interested in.

They are definitely a Dry Age process, although I have never seen the need for them in Dry Aging...But I have a dedicated fridge for mine...

No it's a specially designed bag that allows the evaporation of moisture and still lets the meat Breath. So I believe. This is my first test. I am on another BBQ site and it's quite big there so I thought I would give it a crack.

Yes I agree. If you have the set up and know what you're doing that's the way to do it. But this being my first crack and don't want "another" fridge I hope that this process is satisfactory.

Ok, week 4, 28 days down.

Nice hard outer layer

I cut them into various size steaks. Some normal cooks and some for reverse sears.

I cooked one up inside on the frypan just to have a taste. Very tender and just fell apart in the mouth. Looking forward to cooking one up on the Kamado.

Was there a noticeable flavour improvement?
Did it smell funky?

Mate, there was very little to no odour through this whole process. I only cooked one steak on the frypan and I shared it with 5 of us (mid afternoon snack before pizzas) I will say that it fell apart in my mouth and I cooked it rare and there was little to no blood. I'm looking forward to cooking one on the Kamado this week. I will post more results soon. You asked earlier if there was much drippings in the tray, but that wasn't a tray under neath, it was a little plate of pink rock salt (not sure I needed it but did hear it can fight off bacteria) this was a very clean process. I am more interested in the cheap budget rib fillet that will come off this weekend.
