Content: Step 3
Put your pan and wire rack on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator (because this is where it is coldest). Step 4
Wrap your beef in another of your large white dish towels and put it on the rack. Using your thermometer measure the temperature, you don't want a temperature any warmer than 36 degrees F.
Step 5
Change the towel (s) wrapping your beef daily. Empty and rinse the pan daily as well. This is to ensure that your beef stays as dry as possible and that hopefully no mold or any other kind of bacteria has a chance to start growing. Step 6
Age your beef for ten days to two weeks. Cut off anything on the outer layer that is dry, crusty, or that seems like it could be bad for you to eat such as if you notice some green mold growing for example. Step 7
Store dry aged beef in your refrigerator for up to twenty-one days. If you haven't eaten all the beef in twenty-one days, cut the rest of it into steaks. Put it in freezer-proof, heavy duty plastic wrap, or plastic bags and put it in your freezer.
