A 60 Day Dry Aged Strip Steak

[cowgirl]

I've dry aged ribeyes and KC strips for 30 days, 45 days, 50 days and this one for Sixty. I was aiming for 50 days but life got in the way. lol

Used an Umai bag..

Wrapped into a stocking and into the fridge to age..
The stocking helps the umai bag adhere during the first week.

Sliced the end off and started cutting steaks...

I have removed the outer layer before cutting into steaks, but I prefer cutting the steaks first, then trimming.

Seasoned one with some of my cold smoked salt, pepper, garlic blend then tossed it into the sous vide for 2 hours at 130F

Gave it a quick sear and hit it with my cold smoked butter...

Washed it down with a sip of Crown...

This one turned out better than I had thought it would. The steak was tender and juicy. I'm not sure if it was the length of the dry age , the sous vide or the combo, but I liked it!

Thanks for looking!

I always think she can't top her last cook, well, I guess that is foolish... jeezus Jeanie, you have no boundaries! Awesome cook once again.

Thanks,
Greg

Very kind of you Greg! Thank you!
The dry aging process really does make lesser cuts of meat tender and flavorful. :grin:

Thanks so much Chris! I'm doing great. Hope all is well with you too! Keep safe! :grin:

[Happy Hapgood]

Dinner for two perhaps? :thumb:


When you say stocking, do you mean that you vac pack it for the first week?


It looks Fantastic!

[gtr]

Every element of that meal is great! From the methods used to the salt & butter, & obviously expertly prepared! I haven't had a drink in quite a while - does CR still come in those purple cloth bags? Those used to be very handy for party supplies and whatnot. :spy:

What in the hell are people at Food Network thinking? You could likely beat both Bobby Flay and Alton Brown with one hand tied behind your back.

Looks delicious

Pretty sure she uses a nylon stocking. Pretty sure that's what she said last time.

Oh, and awesome job Jeanie, as per usual! I always hesitate to look at your posts, knowing I'll never achieve the level of your awesomeness.

[kfdvm]

Wow looks great. 60 days is a long age. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Mike! Dinner for me and had enough for breakfast in the morning. lol
I vac seal it in the umai bag, then place it inside of a stocking for the first week. The stocking helps keep the bag tight against the steak and really helps it adhere. After about 7 days, the stocking can be removed but I usually leave it on for the whole process. Hope you give it a try! :grin:

Thanks Greg! I use the heck out of cold smoked salts and butter. It's handy for so many dishes. lol Yes, Crown comes in bags. Let me know if you need any! :grin:

Yes on the stocking. Thanks! I'm fond of dry aged steaks. It's nice to have a few in the freezer. :grin:

Thanks! I really didn't plan on going sixty days, but was happy that they turned out well. lol :grin:

The color on the aged steak is phenomenal! I prefer your method of trimming after the steaks are cut myself. I was thinking about steaks on the grill tonight for the family, but I won't show them this post before dinner because I won't even get close to that. Great job!!

[gtr]

Yes. I know a bartender. How many do you need?

I no longer keep, carry, or use party supplies, so I don't really need the bags anymore - they're still very cool though! Thanks y'all!

[cowgirl]

Jeanie raises the bar on us mere mortals once again!

Heck, I've seen your cooks, they're outstanding!
Thanks Steven! :grin:

Thanks Ron! Trimming the individual steaks really seems quicker to me. Maybe they are just easier to handle than the full primal cut.
I know your steaks are going to be killer!!
Hope you all have a great Sunday! :grin:

You're sure welcome Greg! :grin:

2XSunday :-D

[Grabnabber]

Turned up to 11 as per usual. :thumb:

Question because I've never aged a roast: how do you deal with the remaining meat if you trim/cook 1 or 2 steaks off of the roast?

[Smoke on Badger Mountain]

Outstanding as usual Jeanie! Often think about doing some dry aging but never had the guts to pull the trigger.

Thanks Tom! I usually slice all of the meat into steaks...about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches thick, then wrap them for the freezer. This time I sliced a few steaks and kept a whole roast. Hope you give it a go sometime! :grin:

Thanks Josh! I only age them when I find a good sale. lol
Good to see ya! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

[Bob C Cue]

I see that all these years of me learning you how to cook has finally paid off. I for one think the steak looks amazing.

[ssv3]
