This dry-aged ribeye recipe yields a deeply flavorful and tender steak with a delicious crust. Dry aging enhances the natural flavors of the meat while tenderizing it, resulting in a premium dining experience.

Ingredients: 1 whole bone-in ribeye roast approximately 10-12 pounds. Kosher salt. Black pepper.

Instructions: Unwrap the ribeye roast and pat it dry with paper towels. Generously coat the entire surface of the roast with kosher salt. Place the roast on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and refrigerate uncovered for 3-5 days. This will allow the surface to dry out and form a crust. After 3-5 days, remove the roast from the refrigerator and discard any excess moisture and salt that has accumulated on the surface. Season the roast with freshly ground black pepper. Return the roast to the refrigerator and continue to dry age for an additional 7-21 days, depending on your desired level of flavor and tenderness. Check periodically and remove any excess moisture or mold that may develop on the surface. Once the desired aging time is reached, remove the roast from the refrigerator and trim off any dried outer layers. Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. Sear the ribeye roast on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness, about 15-20 minutes per pound for medium-rare. Remove the roast from the heat and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
