Beer Fridge Dry Aged Ribeye

[thirdeye]

I picked up a Prime grade boneless prime rib roast and cut some steaks for the freezer.


I was left with a 2.5" thick steak, that I dry aged in my beer fridge for 55 or 60 hours, then gave it a light injection and studded it with garlic.



I also soaked some garlic cloves in oil and roasted them while the pit came up to temp.


I served it from the cutting board and used olive oil, rosemary, thyme and the garlic for the board dressing.

That looks awesome! Cooked perfectly. Did the dry aging for 55-60 hours add much tenderness and or flavor? I forgot about your mention a few months ago about the cutting board method of serving for added flavor. Thanks for reviving it, I gotta try that, sounds like it's a can't miss. Great job.

That's a nice looking piece of meat both before and after cooked.

It's hard to say if it made the aged one more tender, we did have one of the other steaks and it was very tender.

I mixed about 4 ounces, but only used 3, and some of that leaked out. It was a combination of Kosmo's Reserve Beef and Big Poppa Cattle Prod into bottled water. I used way less than the recommended competition amount.... maybe 5 or 6 grams of each. I injected from the side only.

Dry aging in the beer fridge doesn't work very well for me. The door gets opened too often.

Seriously, an epic cook there thirdeye!!!

I got this at Sam's Club and they did a really nice job with the trimming and shaping. I did take most of the edge fat off the steak I cooked but did very little to the steaks I cut.
