Dry-aged steak is fantastically tender and flavorful, unfortunately pretty expensive.
For all dry-aged steak lovers I have good news: you can dry age a supermarket steak yourself in your fridge.
All you need to do is
wrap up the steak in cheesecloth and put it on a tray with a wire rack - you can use paper towels instead of cheesecloth and but remember to change the paper towels when they get damp or stick to the steak.
Leave it in the back of your fridge where it's coldest and after 4 days you'll have a more flavorful and tender steak, thanks to some moisture evaporating and the beef's natural enzymes breaking down the tissue in the steak.
Bon appetit!!
BTW: Plan ahead and remember to buy the steak in advance of when you want to eat it, otherwise it will make last second steak cravings problematic.
Try not to forget that you have aging steak in the back of your fridge!
