Hitherto thought Wagyu was the king. Well now the Japanese has been dethroned.

You do know that you can get dry aged wagyu right?

lol no is it better?

 

I thought the beauty of it was that it tastes so great and tender without all that marbling. 

You can dry age anything

 

It really depends on what you're in to. I think Wagyu is overrated personally (same as 'Angus' beef).

 

Some people like steak with a high marble rating, some people like their steak ruined 'well done'.

 

Horses (or cows?) for courses. 

 

I'll take a bad steak cooked well over a good steak cooked badly any day.

I'd rather neck myself.

 

Have you seen how they dry age it? Looks terrible, tasted great.

I had a wagyu rib eye at black hide on Caxton street last Friday night and it was worth everyone of its $60. One of the best steaks I've ever had. There is or was a butcher over in mosman that does their own dry ageing , might be worth checking them out.

So the real question G, is what did you drink with such a wonderful piece of meat?

 

I like cranking Mahler 6 (preferably Karajan) when cooking my steak.

I'm a huge fan.

 

Best two steaks I've had in recent memory are as follows:

 

1. Dry aged:

2. The Republic Hotel's Dining Room (Pitt St) has a steak to share (not on the "menu"), which from memory is dry aged. Its about a hundred bucks.....about 1kg or there abouts. brilliant.

Two hands Cabernet. Served with potatoes cooked in duck fat and greens lightly sautéed in butter and garlic and shared an apple and Ginger pudding . Best meal of the trip.

potatoes cooked in duck fat

 

yummmm

yummmm

 

I know, right? Someone's living better than me 

You are making me hungry Guru, very nice

I am keen on getting these dry age bags to try at home as I reckon it would be much cheaper than buying ready to go.

I think you will need a dedicated fridge

A nice eye fillet from the butcher i trust, prep by the BOSS, brought to room temperature then placed over a very hot open flame.....medium rare, sprinkled with some salt and black pepper......

Just bought two little slices of rib eye....dang they're exxy

I've found a great little Wagyu place in Black Rock. Bought a small piece (550g) one of the nice muscle areas (shoulder). Left it uncovered in the fridge from Saturday until Friday. In the oven for 30 hours at 45 degrees and then cooked it for a few minutes like a steak. It was down to 340g by the time it got to the pan and was tender, juicy, dense and tasty. AND I was also able to cook (a third of) it to greyness for Mrs CE and it was still tender and juicy.

 

The Wagyu burger patties were also excellent and I will be going back. Not much more expensive than good eye fillet and so much more tasty.

Here you go.You can have your Wagyu and Angus.South Devon is the best beef you can eat in my experience.Especially grass fed.

Dry aged South Devon.
