Thank you so much for watching see you on the next video! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
About a month and a half ago I purchased a six pound bone in rib roast. As I usually do, I wrapped it in about three layers of cheesecloth, a little trick I learned from Alton Brown. then put it in my spare beverage refrigerator to dry out for about a week before roasting it. We have two of those small glass front beverage refrigerators, but the one located in our upstairs loft is rarely ever opened. At most we might grab a bottle of water out of it like once or twice a week.
However, each time I wanted to make this standing rib roast, something always came up and I wasn't able to make it for dinner, so I just left it in the refrigerator wrapped in cheesecloth. Two weeks went by and by then I just figured it had to be spoiled, and I'd be throwing it out, wasting around $100 worth of meat. However, I actually forgot to throw it out and didn't realize it until yesterday.
Well, today is trash day, and since I was up extra early, I figured I'd go grab the thing out of the fridge and walk it out to the dumpster. However, when I pulled it out of the fridge, and gave it a smell, expecting it to smell like a rotting corpse, it didn't smell like anything. So I unwrapped it, and discovered it looked dark and dried out, like every 45 day dry aged ribeye I'd ever seen; pretty much exactly like the one you dry aged in your dry age cabinet. I cautiously began carefully carving away the dried outer pellicle, while STILL experiencing no smell at all.
After carving away all of the pellicle, I cut it up into two inch thick individual steaks, seasoned each one with salt, pepper and granulated garlic, and then finally individually vacuum sealed each one. They're now going to rest overnight in my main refrigerator, so tomorrow night we can experience 45-ish day dry aged steaks for the first time ever. I think I'm going to sous vide them at 128 degrees for two hours and then finish them off by searing them on the gas grill. I have zero doubt these are safe dry aged steaks, and I can't wait to try them. In other words, here's another technique. The cheesecloth technique. Simply pat the meat dry with paper towels, wrap the meat in cheesecloth, I use three layers, put it on a rack over a pan, and let it rest in a barely used temperature controlled refrigerator for 45 day. It seems to have done the trick for ours.
UPDATE: So I actually ended up cutting the roast into steaks, then I cooking them via sous vide, and finishing them on the grill. These were by far the best steaks I've ever made. In fact, they tasted every bit as good if not better than a $400 steak my wife and I shared at an upscale steak house on my birthday this past February. When we shared that steak, wife commented that was the best steak she's ever had. However, THIS was every bit as flavorful and tender as that steak was. From now on, every time I get the opportunity, I'll be aging a standing rib roast 45 days before cooking it.
How did it taste buddy?
We deserve an update after reading all this 😂
@@hjfcoco You are right, you do deserve an update, so I included one at the end of my original comment. Thanks for calling my attention to that.
@@seyedsinanaghibiirvani5161 I included an update on my original comment.
This video is very like the ones that got me turned onto this channel: something practical we can do at home. Cheers guys!
Great content! I actually really liked the fact that two people got to review the flavor of the steaks at the end, thus removing any potential bias from the person who invested in the dry aging equipment.
Love how thorough your videos are
Love this Dry aged rib-eye experiment !
Roel Great video !👏❤️
Pretty good comparison. Thanks for sharing! 🍻
I’ve seen you do the dry ager cabinet and bag never salt technique but we salt dry aged pork when I was a boy coming from the south of U.S. everyone had a salt house especially farmers, great comparison I’m going to try a couple different ones thanks Roel.
Nice to see you experimental video's with dry aging the meat very interesting stuff 👍
For those who can’t afford vacuum machines, a ziplock bag and tub of water can do the same thing.
Put the meat in the bag, then carefully drop it into the water without letting water get into the bag. The pressure of the water on the bag will squeeze out any air trapped in it. It may take a few times of adjusting the meat to get rid of any air pockets, but it’s the poor man’s vacuum bag.
Never heard of that but sounds great! Will try for my twelve day pork brine I do for cured meats.
I do it like that when cooking sous vide and I am using regular freezer bags too for that final ghetto touch. Works just fine.
Ghetto! Lol
Good to know. Another option is to use the SausageMaker's dry age wrap. No need for a vac machine. The membrane wrap sticks to meat nicely. One can just put in frige w/o worrying abt contamination.
Nice to see that you use the Drya bags 👌👌
Can't wait for Christmas. Starting dryaging tonight.
Just wanted to give a Thumbs Up to the team member, the one with the glasses that came in at the end to taste, for rocking the Karl Kani hat. I haven't seen Karl Kani gear in ages. His brand/line was a pretty big deal as far as urbanwear goes back in the early-mid 90s.
I love this channel!🙂👍
So much useful info!
Thanks Jay
I used my mini fridge in the garage to dry age. I have a little analog thermometer in there. Haven't tried any other cut but the ribeye.
Wow that’s some fun stuff! 🔥🔥🔥
First time viewer. Excellent presentation.
Nice setting
I’ve wrapped them up in cheesecloth before and placed on a drying rack. Change out cheesecloth after 1st and 3rd day. Delish! 🤘
Thank you Pitmasters.
I was hopeful you had this video coming.
Well presented.
I just recently tried my first dry age beef aged in a bag. It was also my first taste of dry aged anything.
It turned out great. Everything went as it was supposed to and tasted great.
Buys 8000+ dollar dry age cabinet. Realizes an umami bag works just as well. Argues that the cabinet can also be used for storage 😅
The fact that he didn’t vehemently defend or favor his investment, speaks volumes to his character and his mental fortitude over human nature. Much respect.
@@bradleyburton4762 you are absolutely spot on. Most people (pretty much all) who fork out thousands for a dry ager cabinet will justify the purchase. Truth is, a commercial dry ager will argue that having hundreds of cuts in a huge walk in dry ager will create a better dry age flavour than a residential dry age cabinet. Most who dry age with an expensive dry age cabinet at home will say that's the best over a home made fridge or bag.. people with a home made dry age cabinet will rate that over the bags etc.. truth is with a blind test not many ppl will know the difference, they will appreciate the flavour from all of these methods. Kudos to the pitmaster's for being so straight.
Love the summer vibes. I’m commenting from the Southern Hemisphere
i bought a small fridge specifically for dry aging. it is one of the larger beer fridge types that is about 40 inches tall. i also bought a thermometer and spent a few days dialing in the temperature so it stayed a constant 35 degrees F. this is the only thing i use this fridge for so once the meat is in it, i don't open the door more than once or twice in 45 days. it worked really well with a 5 bone prime rib roast on a rack over a 5lb pan of salt. with the price of beef today, it is not a cheap way to have a steak that is for sure
It must be so hard to exercise that level of patience. I'm going to try to resist opening the fridge this year
Exactly my plan! I'm gonna follow those tips about the temp as well. Good thinking!
When I do Umai bags..which is every 45 days I'm putting new ribeye roast (15lb) in the refrigerator.
Mine always comes out more like your dry age cabinet. Thick almost 1/4inch pelical and dark mahogany color. No acidic smell though. Only a rich nutty/beefy smell.
Wonder if it has to do with the humidity in your refrigerator vs. my refrigerator.
Interesting video none the less. Once I started dry aging beef 5 years ago I haven't looked back.
UMAi dry aging bags look like the most doable and convenient method to me. Nice video, Roel. Cheers!
I’ve used Umai for 6x ribeye primals, all came out great. My preferred time is 28d with bone-in ribeye.
Costco sells the Prime bone-in for $12/lb too, less than 1/2 the cost of the steak cuts
The bone saves a lot of the meat from becoming pellicose so you get a better yield
I don’t recommend eating the meat by the bone though.. *too much* dry age flavor
Amazing video! Where can i get such a knife? Really love it! 🥰
Well done for thinking about us with this video. It's a shame that we couldn't dry age the meat prices 🤣
@Roel you can use the UMAi bags without a vacuum sealer, just remove the air with the classic approach of water submerging.
How does the bag sealing work afterwards?
@@harritran8284probably just put a twist tie or something on underwater
I always put a saturated salt solution over the meat(to reduce surface bacteria) and keep it between 0 and 4 degrees with a salt, if you wanna be extra careful salt and acid brine beneath the steak for extra moisture, that way I never had problem even when usinfg the fridge for normal stuff
Thank you ;)))
What temperature does your fridge have to be for the old school method? I was thinking of using the drawer that is the vegetable compartment?
maybe I missed the part in which they said this but which method do they think gives the best results?

Forget that cabinet.
I want that grill.
But for $2000 I'll stick with my Walmart Special and a bag of mesquite charcoal.
I have a brand new unused mini fridge I bought at Costco years ago for doomsday prep and I'll use that for the dry aging.
Wash the interior down good to get the Chinese smell off and should be good to go.......
If it's one thing I will critique Roel on here....his cutting!
He leaves soo much good meat on the edges when he cuts the ends off. When I trim my dry age roasts. I NEVER cut off more than a half inch, unless there was a hole or something that requires a deeper cut. So long as there's no hard pellicle left on the piece you're eating, it's gonna be delicious. He could have gotten an extra steak out of each of those pieces. Smh, I love you Pitmaster, but you're killing me.
What temperature was your fridge set at?
on the faroislands they hang the meet in a outhouse and nothing more..o maby lay the meet in salt for som days.. it hangs for 3 monts
I wish you had weighted them before and after since the dry age cabinet steak was from the smaller end.
can u portion them off, and dry age steaks individually, can you then stack them or does the membrane need to breath
a question, is that mold at the 3:05?
Okay: no 'off-grey' color from cabinet aging now! I have used dry aging bags at home with good results. I never have enough refrigerator space to try the aging over salt method.
The Sausage Maker dry aged bag. No vacuum sealer machine required. Compared to the umi bag.
how long did you dry age the steak?
You got to Costa Rica
When you will test water age?
Thanks guys. Got a fridge in the shed that is used for beers. sounds like I can dry age steaks as well in there
Everyones a winner
I just finished and tried my first 28day beer fridge bag aged beef.
I was worried about how often the door was going to be opened.
In my humidity and being winter I think it actually helped the pelical thicken up.
It tasted great.
If you drink beer like I do. The door will always be open!
Would it work in a wine cooler?
Super thick peliko cuts. Alot of wasted steak use
Regardless of flavor, there is no way I would put the Beer Fridge in isolation for 5 weeks! But all 3 of those steaks look pretty perfect.
No need to isolate the beer fridge.
You just need the shelf space which can be difficult.
Just go for it. I was worried about how often the door gets opened but gave it a go and nothing out of the ordinary happen at all.
Aged in a bag 28 days first go and it was perfect just sitting on a rack on the bottom shelf under the beers.
🙋 Hey PitmasterX !!! 👋😎🇮🇹
Great good job 😋🍖🔥 but what's the temperature inside the fridge ??? Thanks 😋🍻😌
I asked the same question. Maybe he's not exactly sure and he doesn't want to get anyone sick. Key piece of information if the video is for educating his followers.
Why make such a tick cut on the end?
Also, the last one one was a pretty thin steak.
Is it safe to eat the dry outside? Is a person SUPPOSE to cut it off?
My absolute pro tip doing scotch/prime
Take off the spinalis and enjoy it fresh. Do with with it what you will bit its and exceptional muscle that sadly gets culled too easily in a dry age. By removing it you only take from yhe eye and there is plenty of it.
Is that a freezer.
Awesome! I only suffer with the first cut being so thick and wasting so much of the good stuff... Just sayin'...
I just got the Dry Ager UX1000..... Are you still happy with your Dry Ager purchase, or do you have buyers remorse?
Koji paste! No waste same taste in less time. Find it on Amazon.
At 9:20, How do you measure the temperature of the grill in the indirect zone?
It’s a meat thermometer that connects to your phone
It's so hard to wait till Christmas to eat it.
I'm not too sold on the idea of dried meats; they look like a decaying body that was dug up in a shallow ditch on the Criminal Minds Show.
what's the purpose of the salt under the meat?
If I may hazard a guess its to catch moisture. Both to keep air humidity in the fridge lower and to prevent any direct moisture from accumulating and going stale/get moldy and become a hazard for the rest of your fridge's content (including the beef).
This video convinced me that this Napoleon grill is the absolute worst way to possible cook a steak.... that 'searing' section is a joke - almost no colour on them at all. Thanks for making sure I never buy that piece of crap :|
That said - thanks for the dry aging comparison! Great watch!
wait...a bbq with knobs? what is this sorcery? where is the coal :O
what about korean wet age technique???
One thing I don't understand is the salt is not in contact with the meat. So how does it even help?
Absorbs moisture; thus, prevented mold/rot.
Sniffing the beef is very important!
Discoloration is from oxidation totally normal
There must be something you can do with the ends. Wasted as steaks, but surely we don’t just throw the ends away.
I'm wondering if burger king use dry aged mixed in with their burgers?
I’m going to wrap a ribeye in cheesecloth and put in the coldest part of the fridge for 4 days.
You can try to use extra fat to cover the meat, to not waste meat for pelicals
Would reversed searing AND smoking be a waste of the dry age flavor development?
How can you say when you buy meet its expensive when you have sponsors???
This is like a religion of beef.
You young guis miss the original method of dry ageing that is still used now adays in Grand Hotels. Hanging whole pieces of good meat sprayed with white mold. Try it and you will forget about American dry ageing.
Word veehouder , zoveel vlees dat je niet weet wat ermee moet doen 😂
Cutting a huge slice from the edge is a real waste. But I am sure the rest are really delicious. i love steaks.
By the way, that lucky dog. Is that a Great Pyrenees?
🍽🍽🍽👍👍👍💯💯💯
anybody else notice the fly escape from the dry ager
try this it is on english
Dutch guga ?????
Like that Hawaiian shirt.
You always want to sear your steaks before you bring them up to temperature. Otherwise you run the risk of overcooking them. Even dry aged, your streaks shouldn't be gray.
dry aging cabinet really speed up the dry aging process...
😋😋
Man, where are you from? I'm picking up so many regional traces in your accent it's got me baffled. You sound like a Scandinavian, Canadian, and Creole from the bayou all in one. No offense intended, just interesting.
I fwded this immediately to my wife 4:19.. tell one tell all..
Good day
I would love to try this but not a fan of how wasteful this process is.
You can keep use the pellicle and trimmings. Use the fat for tallow, and grind the pellicle into burgers. So there is no waste.
Oh cool. I didn't know that. Maybe that could be a future video.
Wow! 900C!!! That Napoleon is really cooking with gas!!!
Very nice video tanks. but don't use the knife you use for the meat to cut the plastic is an inappropriate practice. 🤷🏿♀️
If there is such a thing as reincarnation I want to come back as your dog. It would be a pretty good gig.
I don’t like the fry age taste I love fresh
Taking your steaks to 54 on the first cook is a mistake
Pitmasterx: hey guys I'm gonna do an experiment on different dry ageing techniques.
Guga did it!
Pitmasterx: what?
Guga did it!
And both channels presented it in a different way.
I must confess as a value-oriented person that I'm not a connoisseur of steaks that are dry-aged vs. straight from the butcher. What I see in the dry-aging processes is that some "waste" less meat than others; but they all waste meat. I'm sure that dry-aging concentrates the flavor; but why give up 10% of the meat for that? Please educate me on the value of dry-aging in whatever style when I have a very limited budget. 🙂
You can use a bucket and water to seal the bag as well
Guga you lost some weight man.
.. 🫢😂
Love this channel but just kinda looks like a lot of waste dry aging or it could be just me
First steak wasn’t worth cooking. Looked like perch u catch and throw it back cuz it’s whatever
I was really digging this video and trying to see if I could learn something untill he lit up that gas grill. Now I'm just trying to forget I just waisted my life
