Have any of you ever aged your own beef? What are your methods? Did it once years ago and it was good.
Never done it myself, but the T-bone/Porterhouse aged steaks at Whole Foods are the best thing I have ever eaten.
reelly…
I’ve aged lots of beef at home. Don’t fool yourself thinking you can age cheap beef and end up with something better. Whole prime beef tenderloin is all I have ever used. Take a baking pan and put a rack on it so the air can circulate underneath the meat. Put your meat on it and put it in a cold part of the refrigerator. After 3 or 4 days turn it over and let it go for an equal amount of time. When its aged the outside 1/8" will be hard, ugly, and crusty. Trim off the hard parts and cook.
