Aging a good steak to make it amazing is not a very difficult task. We have all been to a steak house where the steak was extremely tender, flavorful and juicy. Meals like this usually cost approximately $75 – $100. Well aged steaks can easily cost you more than $100. This article is about how to age steaks at home for a fraction of the cost of having a restaurant do it for you.
Living on a limited budget usually requires the consumption of a significant amount of homemade food. Home made food is significantly cheaper than packaged food and tends to have less sodium and fat content. The meat of choice for most budgets tends to be chicken unless you find a significant price reduction on a piece of beef.
High quality aged steaks can be very expensive to purchase, it is not uncommon to find steaks costing $21 per pound or more. If your family is eating with a limited budget the cost of purchasing aged steak can wreck a budget, learning to age steaks can create significant savings.
One way to have great steaks is to age them yourself in your fridge. Any kind of meat can be aged in your home for a fraction of the cost of and this article will tell you how to do it.
The tools you will need are; a wired cooling rack with tray, paper towel and five days for aging. Many people enjoy a good steak on the weekend, As a suggestion for when to start, Monday is the preferred day to begin the aging process. This will have your steak ready for the weekend when you have the time to enjoy it.
The next time you are shopping at the grocery store purchase a discounted steak from the meat section. When you arrive home, open the package and wrap the meat with paper towel and place on the wired cooling rack. Place the rack in the fridge for the next 24 hours.
After 24 hours remove the wet paper towel and wrap the steak with fresh dry paper towel and place back in the fridge. For the next three days change the paper towel if it become wet or sticks to your steak. Your steak will be ready for cooking on Saturday, always let your steak come to room temperature by having it sit on the kitchen counter away from direct sunlight before cooking as this technique will keep the meat from becoming tough when it touches the hot grill.

Their 15 years of grocery shopping for the family has led them to start a blog that includes using leftovers to save big, money, meal planning, cooking utensils, recipes, and grocery lists.
