Best 3 Dry Aged Steaks Recipes

DRY AGED STEAK AT HOME

Steps:

• On a plate sprinkle salt evenly on both sides of steak-you can use up to 1 teaspoon if the steak is really large.
• Let steak sit on the plate for 45 minutes, then flip and repeat time.
• I do this at room temperature.
• You will notice that the steak will weep then suck the fluid back inches
• This seasons them and tenderizes them. (we have fiddled with different amounts of salt, 3/4 teaspoon seems to be perfect)
• Once done with the salt/plate process I place my steak(s) on a rack over a cookie sheet to air dry.
• Do NOT cover.
• You can place them in the fridge*, however you will need to pull them (1 inch thick) back out 1 hour before you grill.
• Allow steak to "age" for 3 1/2 hours, up to 5 hours.
• *I do not place my steak(s) in the fridge, I simply place the rack in the oven to age. Our house is cool so if your house is hot, I would place in fridge , pulling steak(s) out one hour before you grill.

DRY AGED RIB-EYES

Steps:

• Make space in back of refrigerator for 7 to 10 days at a steady temperature of 38 degrees F.
• Remove roast from packaging and rinse well. Pat completely dry, wrap with 3 layers of cheesecloth. Place on a rack fitted inside a sheet pan in back of the refrigerator, fat side up. After 24 hours, remove, unwrap, discard cheesecloth and wrap with a fresh piece. Place back in the refrigerator for 6 to 9 days undisturbed. Make sure to check your refrigerator for temperature accuracy prior to dry aging. Keep in bottom/back of refrigerator and if possible, a refrigerator that doesn't get opened often.
• Remove roast from refrigerator. Remove cheesecloth, cut away the fat and trim the ends and any discolored parts of roast.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Slice roast into 6 (1 1/2-inch thick) steaks. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Cook steaks for 4 minutes on first side, turn and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter. Top with Horseradish Gremolata and let rest 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk butter with garlic, horseradish, vinegar, zest and salt. Stir in the parsley.

DRY-AGED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Dissolve kosher salt in water and use it to wipe down the prime rib. Pour enough sea salt over a rimmed sheet pan to cover it completely; sprinkle pink salt on top. Place a roasting rack over the salt. Place prime rib on the rack and refrigerate at 34 to 38 degrees F (1 to 3 degrees C), uncovered, 30 to 40 days.
• Remove prime rib from the fridge. Trim off fat as needed. Transfer the rack into a roasting pan and place prime rib on top. Spray the surface with water and season generously with kosher salt. Refrigerate 24 to 48 hours to let meat absorb salt.
• Remove prime rib from fridge and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let warm up slightly, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Insert a probe thermometer into the prime rib.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300° F (150° C). Bake for about 90 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached, 125° F (52° C) for rare, 130° F (54° C) for medium-rare, or 135° F (57° C) for medium. Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
