    Double-seared, Dry Aged, Rib Eyes (first attempt at dry aging)

    This is my very first attempt at dry aging beef. These were in the bags for about 3 weeks. I made them last night with the Mad Hunky seasoning. They were absolutely amazing! Before I said anything, my 12-year-old daughter said "they are so easy to cut." Kinda says it all.
