Content: Dry Aging the Roast
For dry aging, use a flat, leakproof container or tray to hold the roast. Place a wire rack on the bottom, to allow airflow beneath the beef. Pat the roast dry with paper towels and center it on the rack. Cover the exposed surfaces with cheesecloth or freshly laundered kitchen towels. Clear a space in your refrigerator, and place the roast inside. Let it age for three to nine days, changing the towels daily for the first three days. The longer the beef ages, the more intense the flavors will become. Advertisement
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.
