I just started mine last week and dry aged the meat the same day I bought it.

Post by: CDN Smoker on June 03, 2013, 07:20:58 PM: I'm only 1 week ahead of you Rick, be good to see the difference.

I talked to the butcher of Letstalkbbq about the vein you talked about. He says rib eye and all is ok.

I do have one question, how are you wet ageing and why, why not dry age longer?

Post by: CDN Smoker on June 03, 2013, 07:31:56 PM: Q: just me but I think there is enough interest for this to have Its own section under Food-Reciepes

Also how do we contact these folks to become sponsors?
Title: Re: Prime Dryaged Ribeye
Post by: muebe on June 03, 2013, 07:33:08 PM: I would love to have them here as sponsors! I really love their bags!

Post by: ACW3 on June 03, 2013, 08:03:58 PM: There might be enough of us when you add in the Charcuterie side of things. I am dry curing some pancetta and bresaola right now. Can't wait to taste.

Nope! I am sort of on the fence with this. The last time I did 4 halves for 28 days and 2 halves for 21 days. I didnt taste alot of difference between the two. But I did see a difference in weight loss. I may just go 21 days on this prime meat.

Post by: muebe on June 10, 2013, 08:53:11 PM: I think I am going to go 21 days this time on mine also.

Post by: RickB on June 19, 2013, 07:44:59 PM: Going to cut this weekend.

This is the top. I you looked at the before photos the prime had a nice fat cap. Most of that is gone.

Usually about an inch to an inch and a half. The only steak I like thicker than a inch and a half is filet. 3-4 inches on those.

Post by: RickB on June 21, 2013, 06:51:33 PM: Time for some knife skills

A 21 day Prime dry aged ribeye ready to cut.

(http://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/r662/RickB23/IMG_0191_zps8843bbf2.jpg)

The first thing I noticed when I took my first cut was the wonderful aroma. Much better than my first try with the choice grade ribeyes. The second thing I noticed was the color. A much darker red, not as pink. The last thing I noticed was a better marbling. We all know about the large fat vein in ribeyes, but this had better fat in the meat. So for your inspection…..

Ready to wrap, quick freeze and then Vac pack. Have a menu ready for tomorrow and will let you know how they taste!

Post by: smokeasaurus on June 21, 2013, 07:31:50 PM: If those steaks taste half as good as they look you are all set.

Post by: Keymaster on June 21, 2013, 07:57:43 PM: Looks great, your right about that fat it is so white and fresh looking. Nice Job!!
