Dry aging beef?

[jonumberone]

Yeah, Ben, I used the bag for this.
My other attempts I was rotating, monitoring temps, and so on.
This time I just put it in the bag, stuck it in the fridge and forgot about it.
I didn't notice any difference due to the lack of attention paid.

Looks great. Why not the kamado the whole time?

What kind bag? I assume it let in some air? Did the meat touch any part of the bag?

I had a half a steer (grass fed from VT) aged 60 days before being cut and there was some funk to that as well. Next time I buy again, I may ask them to age longer. Between the grass fed and dry age, it was certainly different tasting.

Think he is talking about these bags, but Dom correct me if I'm wrong

I use different things to sear off. Usually due to a number of factors. Time, weather, my mood, etc.... This time I chose to light the Kamado.

The meat touches the bag. The more contact with the bag the better according to the instructions.

Someone asked me to sum up the steak; I said it was like having a high end NYC steakhouse steak in my basement. Not bad for $3.77 a lb.

Considering trying 120 days next.

Am I ever wrong?!?...I've been to several of Dom's "tests" and agree, this one was phenomenal....Someone asked me and I said it's like having a high-end steakhouse in my buddy's basement, where he does all the work AND we can smoke cigars!...Win/Win! ...Brings me back to the days when we'd hit a steakhouse after a long day in court....chasing martinis, steaks, cigars and skirts....not necesarily in that order... Another one for the books my friend!!

Simply amazing Dom! Pretty sure I just broke the commandment that says "Though shall not lust." Beautiful, a great job!
