Have you had a 30 day dry aged strip or ribeye? A regular steak just doesn't come close.

The refrigerators do smell like absolute **** though.

I can’t really deal with the “funk” smell/taste of dry aged but maybe I just haven’t had good dry aged.
Also with the steaks, I’m doing less and less rib eyes/strips etc and more flank/skirt/hanger

Find a butcher that does dry aging around you and get something around 30-40 days. That is the sweet spot, the steak flavor is enhanced and you don't get the gross taste of steak aged 60-120 days.

Hanger steaks are the bomb.

Good deal on a Kamado Joe Classic. It's ******* walmart, but $350 off.

Robot or human?

Is that before or after you have dinner? ?

I am new in the world of steaks. I had many, but I just started to grill at home by myself. Also, my English isn't that good. And have many questions. What would you say: Is Angus beef a good start? Unfortunately, where I live I can't source Wagyu.

 

[Omega Male]

Yes, Angus is fine. Get a good meat thermometer, learn how to reverse sear and you're good to go.

Depending on where you are, the words I look for are prime or choice. Angus can be both prime and choice. Prime beef is the highest grade of American beef, but not as high as most wagyu or wangus (waguy bread with Angus cows). Choice is a step down from prime, but can still be good. Select is the lowest grade, stay away.

I had choice brisket 2 weekends ago. While not ideal, it was smaller and less expensive (obviously) yet still tasted fantastic. What would have costed me something like $150 was just about cut in half because of price per lb and smaller portion. Hell, I still gave away/froze half of the finished product.

It really is about looks like bear shows above. I've seen some less than ideal "prime" cuts at Costco.

Thank you for the info. I'll go to the butcher and talk with him ? also thank you for the pictures! I saw on your first pictures that you used a mix of herbs. Is that a special mix of herbs to steaks? I thought I will try first dry aging in the fridge for one or two days. Then only salt and pepper. Or should I look for some spices too?

Stick with just salt and pepper on good steak. I would not recommend dry aging at home, but leaving it in the refrigerator for 7 days is fine. It won't really dry age in that time.

This is true. Certain cuts if choice can be prime marbled. That sucks you can't get good prime briskets for $50-$75.
