Hey, I am with you on that.... the flavor and the texture of dry aged steak is uncomparable. To me wet aged steaks have a metallic, sometimes livery tones depending on the aging time. Dry aged steaks have more of a high acidic tone to them. IMHO

Hi IC thanks for the reminder of salting! Like you I do not like Liver, for some reason it gets my gag reflex going (maybe an allergy?) and I get sick when I eat it. But anyhow I love the salting method as well! And you are right it does remove any off flavor.
I know this much aged beef is better tasting, just my & my Dad's opinion |

I would definitely concur on the salting of the steak. I have tried it and it works, the steaks do come out more tender and the off flavors do decrease.
The reason I like dry aged steak is because its lower moisture cooks a bit more evenly and of course the flavor is superb. When I cook wet aged steak salting is a good way to improve the flavor and texture. |

The perception for some is that when it comes to meat, perfectly red and slaughter-house-fresh is best. But many think that's just a ploy to divert novices from the real quality product! I personally let wild game hang for days before butchering it. And I regularly buy more aged meat at the store- my personal optimum is stuff less red, even close to brown w/ tinges of green around the fat-cap. Not a thing wrong w/ it at all (although one really needs to have some protein knowledge and be "in the know" because obviously foods can cross a line!). Aged stuff for me has far more flavor than the fresh-killed stuff. It's like the difference between adding beries to vinegar and using it in a salad dressing the very first day- versus waiting a week or two and using it then. The flavor of the berries in the vinegar is much happier and more present as more time passes and it ages. By the way- welcome to Spice Place, FoodLoverCA! This is a great place w/ fine folks and we're glad you found us! |

Somehow Kevin along with my Dad and many others have discovered that aged beef is a notch above the fresher product. My Dad has told me for the longest time that aged beef is delicious, I thought he was just being cheap and buying the outdated stuff to save a $ (being the tight-wad type that he is) but now I am beginning to see that aged beef is a preferred product! I have tasted the difference and I believe there is a much better tasting product in buying the aged!
