I bought some really nice $10 strips from Sam's last week. Marked choice looked prime. The 'in the know" butcher didn't know about it. Ever try a dry salt brine? 12 hours at less the 1" 24 hours over an inch longer if you dare.

Think it may have tasted better if I would have sought after their wisdom.

I need a recipe rehab I have been doing philly steak in a low carb tortilla recently.
I don’t know if it’s the spring coming on or if I am just getting bored of my menu.
It’s just been busy then grow in a couple days of nice weather then back to some nasty shit.

Many of us preach the dry brine for steaks. I find 24-48 hours is the sweet spot. [Reply]

Too long is worse IMHO than too short. I went 48 hours on 1 3/4" thick porterhouse/ t bones.
Not all of us have a countertop machine to age our steaks. I haven't heard much about yours
I've got a prime strip in there now. The ribeye turned out good, but I didn't age it long enough. I could definitely tell a difference in the tenderness and meatiness. Going 45-50 days on the strip. Should be ready to go around the first of May. [Reply]

Yesterday on America's Test Kitchen they did sous vide poached eggs cooked in the shell. It was weird watching them crack the shells open and lay a perfectly poached egg on top of toast. [Reply]
