There is nothing like a great steak just off the grill! That steak can be even better if it’s dry aged…my first guest and I will share some thoughts on how you can dry age your own beef at home and what the benefit of doing that is. Jon Faulkenberry is the representative for Otto Wilde Grillers Inc and Steak Locker. If you have ever had a fine premium quality steak that has been dry aged you know how good it can be. Now you don’t have to pay $50 for a small steak at one of the top steakhouses, you can do it yourself…with a little help. Turn us on and let’s get grilling with style!

Dry aging is the process by which large cuts of beef are aged for anywhere from several weeks to several months before being trimmed and cut into steaks. It’s a process that not only helps the steak develop flavor, but also makes it far more tender than it would be completely fresh.
Why dry-aged beef tastes better. All fresh beef is aged for at least few days and up to several weeks to allow enzymes naturally present in the meat to break down the muscle tissue, resulting in improved texture and flavor. These days, most beef is aged in plastic shrink-wrap—a process known as wet-aging.
The key to perfect dry aging is the right combination of temperature and humidity. With a Steak Locker you get it all…
