Preparing the Ribeye
The cool, dry air of the refrigerator will draw moisture from the beef very effectively. After a week's aging, your roast will usually lose 20 to 25 percent of its original weight. The outer surfaces will be hard and oxidized, and might smell noticeably gamy. Don't be alarmed; this is normal. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to trim away the exposed outer surfaces. The meat remaining underneath the crusty, dried exterior will have a rich, beefy aroma and dense texture. Prepare the entire ribeye as a roast, or slice it into thick steaks for grilling.
