Memphis pellet grill is ready...

Two minutes rotate, two minutes flip...

Let them rest for a few minutes...

And a proper beer to wash down a fine steak like that...

Wow what a great steak! It almost has a buttery feel to it as you chew. Very tender yet firm. Just a wonderful steak. If you have not given the UMAi bags a look you should. It is worth the time and easy to do ;)

Pappy, you just crack me up  :D :D  Maybe the temp pic was taken after the steak was put on...pellet grills do drop temps when the door is raised  ;D

It was right before putting them on. When it got close to 600F I grabbed the steaks and put them on. When I opened the hood the heat that came out reminded me of a kiln!

Does the dry aging change the taste much or just tenderness. I've seen where people say it tastes more buttery and richer. Sounds Devine !

Definently more buttery is a good way to describe it. The beef flavor is more intense and concentrated.

From what I understand there is a bacteria that grows in the beef when it is dry aging that breaks down enzymes in the meat changing the texture and flavor. The beef becomes a deeper color red and the fat becomes more solid and defined.

I am hooked on these steaks and it is not as expensive to do as you think.

I am sure Rummm could explain what happens in this process better than me ;)
