Dry Aging is EASY (if you have the right gear!)

Wait, that dry aged cut costs HOW MUCH?!?!

I'll admit, I've spent more than what I should have paid for steaks on multiple occasions. But dry aged beef is downright special. Amazing tenderness, deep and rich flavor and oh god its 45.99 a lb. Where do these prices even come from?

    Gear Needed 
    • Umai Dry Aging Bags (Ribeye Roll Pack)
    • Vaccum Sealer (Foodsaver or like type)
    • Full Ribeye Roast (4-6 bone recommended)

    Preparation

    • Wear gloves while handling meat in packaging
    • Remove steak from retail packaging and set aside
    • Prep dry bag per instructions, being careful to not get any cuts or crinkles in the bag
    • Allow steaks to dry age from 28 days up to 45. Umai recommends 28 days.
    • When ready for removal, remove dry bag and discard.
    • Trim away all of the pelicle (the dry dark parts) and then portion into steaks
    • Prep and cook the way you prefer. These do well in cast iron, sous vide or even reverse seared with smoke! Just don't cook it well done. We'll find you.
