My local HEB now ages steaks, so I decided to do a side by side of 20 day dry aged vs. non dry aged
Maybe my problem is I'm going for the ultra dry aged steak. Never considered this. I guess I ignorantly assumed longer is better. TWSS.
I'll aim for the sub 30 day steak. If it sucks, that's it, I'm out.

72 day aged ribeye I had in Chicago was the biggest disappointment I've had in a steak.
I did the 65 day at David Burke's Primehouse and felt the same way.


that's where I was. Must have been 65. Eh, what's a week at that point?

I had the 180 day aged steak at Carnevino in Vegas(thanks to a vendor ) and I wasn't a big fan. It was insanely tender, but had an earthy funkiness to it. It definitely wasn't worth the insane cost IMO.

Rouses has dry aged streaks by the rack you buy and wait until ready. For some crazy reason it has been cheaper than buying the rack non aged. 10.50 a lb I believe

Yeah that “hint of blue cheese" flavor they tell you about when you order it is actually "hint of roadkill with taint undertones"

I did also and it was a huge disappointment. I laughed the other day when it won best steakhouse in America on Travel channel.

The rule of thumb is that 28 days is the maximum dry aging time to get the appropriate tenderness. Past that and the flavors begin to intensify. Some people really enjoy the added intensity, but others are uncomfortable with the unexpected flavors. Try and buy steaks aged no more than 28 days.
