Set up a small BBQ last night, well more like a small tray of charcoal as I was only cooking 1 1/2 steaks shared between three of us.
I still had half a rib eye from Sainsbury's which to my surprise hadn't spoilt, in fact it had turned a nice deep ruby similar in colour to the Waitrose steak . Really surprised, it normally starts to turn grey/brown and begins to pong, difference this time was I dried the steaks with paper towels and freshly wrapped them up and turned the fridge up a bit and they lasted rather well for nearly another week.
Well seasoned salt and pepper only, charred and rare at 4 - 5 mins a side, wrapped in foil and left off the heat to keep warm and rest for 10 minutes.
Waitrose - 2" dry aged rib eye - delicious, butter soft, juicy with a very very fine texture and flavour. 9/10. Delicious. We all agreed, one of the best we've tasted.
Sainsbury's - 2" wet aged rib eye - after some unintentional aging, still rather tasty. 7/10. Not bad at all, very tender, juicy with reasonable flavour, charcoal smoke helps with that. I'm going to have to experiment, it wasn't proper aging but it made a difference. I'd certainly try again.
