Back on January 17th I posted about a 19.16 lb. Prime boneless ribeye primal that I started on its 45 day dry aging journey. Today was day 47 and it was time to see the finished product. I weighed it after removing from the fridge and it came in at 16.20 lbs., almost an exact three pound loss.
Right out of the bag it had the typical hard waxy layer.
There was just a small amount of mold starting on each end. This is quite a bit less than I have seen on others I've done which I have no explanation for.
After trimming it weighed 12.10 lbs. for a seven pound total loss from the start.
When sliced, it yielded eight 23 oz. 2" thick heart wreckers and one 8 oz. breakfast steak. It also had the nutty, blue cheesy smell and buttery fat that you expect from a dry aged steak.
It once again proves to me that even with the loss from drying and trim it is well worth the initial price. Final cost per pound was $15.82 or $22.77 per 23 oz. steak. That steak would cost between $60 - $80 dollars in a restaurant and each one will feed my wife and I for a single meal.
The weather looks to be nice this weekend, so stand-by for a plated picture.

Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.
Cooked one up last night and it was pretty tasty. I was a little bummed that it went over my target temp during the rest, but it was still a pretty good chew!

Looks much better than the carnitas nachos I had at the drag races!
Was aiming for 130* (med rare) after the rest since my wife was eating half of it, but it went to about 135*. If it were just for me I would have aimed for 125-127*.

Looks about perfect for my taste
