    Going down the “dry aged trail”.

    Well I finally got my but over to RD and picked up a 14lb Angus boneless ribeye.
    This is my first time trying this Umai home dry aging deal.
    Looking forward to see how this turns out.
    I will see you in 28 days. 😁😬🤔😳😁😁 Click image for larger version Name: 514CA033-74A9-46DC-8DB9-DD78169B8059.jpeg Views: 22 Size: 2.88 MB ID: 718450Click image for larger version Name: 8197AAE4-22D1-4AA6-8787-C48420417FBE.jpeg Views: 31 Size: 2.18 MB ID: 718449

              I really need to try this. I should compare a rib primal of our ranch grass fed angus, vs CAB (choice grade 1 or 2), and prime.

              Woop! I love these kind of 'experiments'. I just can't imagine how there will be anything but good results, one way or another.

                whats the difference between using a umai bag or just setting the meat in the frig? I’ve done the latter with good results, but after reading about the product on the umami website, I don’t see the advantage with the bags.

                  the bags are one way permeable. They let has and moisture out, but keep bacteria and fungus spores out.

                I have tried umai, made lomo, brezaola, and one other pork thing. They were just ok. That is different than using it for dry aging meat, but just to say, if you are thinking about other stuff, that stuff was good, but nothing like what you buy. At least for us amateurs.

                Using Umai bags, I've dry aged for 32 & 42 days and preferred the more concentrated 42 day flavor. I have a process that I like. Upon completing the agin process, I cut them into 1.5 inch steaks. I then salt them and add a light seasoning of New Mexico hatch chili , garlic and onion powders. I then vacuum seal two steaks per vacuum seal bag and freeze them. When it's time to cook, I sous vide them from frozen, takes about 2 hours at 126 F and then sear for 2 minutes per side. The last step of the process is rooting around in the wine cellar for a bottle of "big red." Perfection!

                slow n sear
                The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

                The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                the good one grill
                The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills.

                Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker

                masterbuilt gas smoker
                This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

                NK-22-Ck Grill
                Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
