Dry aging a Finnish ribeye

[Henrik]

So, I went past a restaurant supplier chain that I frequently visit. They had a real nice ribeye from a premium supplier in Finland. I've heard a lot of good stuff about Finnish meat so I decided to try. Plus I rarely buy ribeye unless you can get the whole beef like this. This one weighed in at 2.9 kilos. I just patted it dry, put it in an dry aging bag and sucked the air out. Now it's in the fridge waiting for some days to go by.

How many days are you going to age this great hunk of Finnish beef?

can’t wait to see and hear more!

So, in other words, it will always be Finnish, but when will it be finished?

[Henrik]

Jim White - LoL! I plan on dry aging this a bit shorter than usual - 10 days only. Just to see what flavor develops (if any) in such short time.

LOL. Just saw this in my youtube feed and commented on it before seeing your post here.

Dry age is my jam. Go 60 days at 75% humidity, high airflow, and 37° for perfection in my opnion.

[Henrik]

A bit too long for my palate, I usually do 20. But to each their own 😄

Henrik I still haven’t tried your placing the meat over a bed of salt method yet. That is on my agenda for this spring. I finally have a refrigerator that I can dedicate to aging. Are the bags better?

[Henrik]

The bags are easier, given that you don’t have a dedicated fridge for the meat. And that goes a long way in my book 😄
