Hanging / dry aging a $1,300 cow carcass in the garage for two weeks before I start butchering this Saturday. Ideal temp is 33° - 37° F. Last few days have been tricky - daytime highs of 50+ degrees.

7/ On that note, I recommend this book (as does

8/ I'm aware of the possibility / am keeping my eyes open. 1) tradeoffs exist 2) no problems so far 3) I've got a cow head just outside, at ground level that can serve as a honeypothttps://twitter.com/MorganColeBooks/status/1232312427980550144 …

9/ I've got three ~ 20 cubic foot freezers. This beef should all fit in freezer #2 . I have PONDERED pressure canning meat before (specifically, pulled pork). Problem - it's a LOT of labor to run the pressure canners, per amount of meat stored.https://twitter.com/l_corle/status/1232318750218579968 …

10/ I've tried head cheese, and it's good, but it's also a lot of work, and it comes at a time when you're buried in other work. I've taken to making guanciale, or, as I like to call it, "face bacon".https://twitter.com/bc_nbc/status/1232322195054923777 …

One takeaway I got from STEAK (though it wasn't quite said explicitly) is that for the most part, grain-fed beef is largely a commodity (high-end producers and wagyu genes aside): You get a consistent, repeatable, and predictable output at grade, age, breed, and cut.

@MarkSchatzker details how much grass-fed varies among the producers he samples. It's both the worst tasting and the best he tries. Those high-end grass producers (like@Alderspring) also note how much their own beef varies seasonally following the lifecycle of grass. - Show replies
