To prepare a Dry-Aged Steak properly we recommend the following...1. Thaw and bring to room temperature (you can submerge in a cold sink of water to thaw quickly)
2. Melt
Lard or
Tallow in a hot cast iron skillet on the stovetop, while bringing the oven to 360 degrees.
3. Salt and pepper the steak. Sear on very high heat for 1 to 2 minutes each side. Look for a "crisp" crust on the steak.
4. Transfer the skillet to the oven (now at 360 degrees) and cook as follows...
