DryAged Ribeyes, crabcakes and veggies

[tatonka3a2]

Forgot to post this from last weekend. 

Had a craving for a good steak so went to the freezer and found a nice package of ribeyes that we had dry aged a few months ago.  Once they were thawed I rubbed them down with a little roasted garlic olive oil and seasoned with Tatonka Dust and some Canadian Steak seasoning.

Fired up the Yoder to 500° and getting a nice sear on the steaks.  Here they are on the first part of the sear.

Yes it is!!  I would love to be able to make them from scratch but the crab is so expensive here.  These are a store bought frozen pre-made from Sams Club.  They are better than most of the pre-made ones that I have had.

Looks fantastic. What temp did you have the Yoder at during the hour of smoking? Was it just ambient temp or did you add any heat? I ask because the look perfectly med rare. All how was the smoke flavor?

Nice looking plate

Great marbling in the steaks,what do you have to pay  for that grade of beef stateside? Crab is expensive here to,we ship a lot to Asia price stays constant for meat.Live crab can vary a bit.

I had no heat, just the fan running with one of Todd's tube smokers going with Hickory.  Smoke flavor was really good - not overpowering, just a really nice smoke.

We bought this as a whole at Sams Club - $6.99/lb and it was an 18lb piece. DryAged it for 45 days in the fridge.  It was very good!!

Nope, not everyday but we do try and make one really good meal like this each weekend.  Sometimes it doesn't happen...

I have no idea what happens .....
