Dry-aged meat is a meat lover's dream, featuring succulence and flavor
that no other meat can match. Typically such meats are available only in
elite steakhouse restaurants or high-end specialty butcher shops, at a
cost far beyond the pocketbook of most consumers. But now this ultimate
expression of meaty flavor is available to all, with the surprisingly
simple but detailed instructions in this handy guide. All that's needed
is a small refrigerator, a fan, a remote thermometer, and this book.
With these tools anyone can dry age beef, duck, goose, lamb, goat,
venison and other game, and more. The book examines the cuts of meat to
choose and how to trim them. Exact, step-by-step instructions for dry
aging each kind of meat are covered in full. It addresses health and
food-safety concerns in detail, and gives guidelines for how long each
meat should be aged. Cooking notes are also included. Any serious home
cook will want to try the surprisingly simple methods outlined in Dry
Aging Meat at Home.
