My son brought these home yesterday, but he had to work last night, so we agreed I’d cook them tonight.

These gorgeous steaks got a good dose of Q-Salt

Fired up the 26’er with a single charcoal basket with a few hot coals and a chunk of cherry.

Then they went over to the Performer which was running two baskets under the Weber cast iron sear pan with some peanut oil for the sear.

That was some good sheeeetttt!!
 
Nicely executed...it is surprising how fast a dry aged steak can cook. :thumb: ask me how I know :becky:
 
WOW!!! Beautiful steaks, beautiful plate. Your son is welcome at my place anytime as long as he brings 45 day aged steaks...:p
 
Great cook as always. Steaks looked like money. Was it just me, the raw steaks didn't look dry aged at all to me... To me it looked like something I'd bring straight home from the grocery store.
 
I am not normally a porterhouse kind of person, but those steaks would definitely change my mind. Absolutely perfect! And the fork shot was forking fantastic!! Exactly what I would want in a steak.
 
OUTSTANDING!!!:clap2: I dry age my own and 45 days is the "sweet spot" for me.I have tested from 21-60+ days and my favorite is 45 day dry age.Another one I like also is 28 day wet age in cryovac and then remove and dry age for 21 days.Less trimming.
 
Perfect looking T Bone ( what we call them)

We call them Porterhouse here if (FDA rule) the tenderloin side is at least 1.25 inches wide, or T-bone if it’s more than 0.5 inches wide but less than 1.25, or it’s just Strip steak if it’s less than 0.5 inches across the tenderloin part.
