Content: Step 2
Pat it dry with a clean towel again. This task must be repeated several times throughout the dry aging process, which effectively "sucks" the moisture from the interior to the exterior of the meat. Step 3
Place the meat on a rack and place the rack on top of a baking sheet with a rim to prevent spills or leaks. Advertisement
Step 4
Place the rack of beef, uncovered, on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator. This is typically the coldest part of the fridge. Step 5
Examine the beef twice a day and pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. After about three days the beef will begin drying out and as a result, a dark crust will form on the exterior. Step 6
Remove the beef and trim off the outer crust after five to seven days. The beef can now be cooked and eaten like a normal cut of meat. Cook or freeze as soon as you cut off the crust, which should be done within a week of starting the drying process.
