Content: Allow the meat a few minutes to drain and remove any excess moisture by dabbing the meat with paper towels. Step 3
Wrap the beef tenderloin in two or three layers of cheesecloth or a clean white dish towel, but do not wrap the meat too tight. Place the cut onto a tray with raised sides, such as a rimmed baking sheet. If dish towels are used, they should be changed daily. Advertisement
Step 4
Place the meat on the bottom tray, as this tends to be the coldest part of the refrigerator. Step 5
Allow the meat to dry age in the refrigerator for three days, but not longer than seven. The longer the meat remains, the more intense the flavor. After the first day, unwrap the three layers of cheesecloth and rewrap the meat to ensure that the cloth does not stick to the tenderloin. Step 6
Remove the beef tenderloin after the desired time span. Remove the cheesecloth and trim away the dry outer layers of the meat with a sharp knife.
