 i think ribeye ages better than any other beef cut. 
and i think aged ribeye is my favorite steak.

full stop. https://image.nostr.build/42e346fda57ac162dc529bf52655baefef5b09cf9ae7c88dbabfcf7e7a0e4b39.jpg  
 How about a low and slow ~18 hour brisket? Never done it, but it’s on my to do list. Usually I like my beef “Pittsburgh style” aka black and blue - seared on the outside and blue on the inside. 
 depends on the cow tbh. 

i do like brisket - but it’s not my favorite. 
 Made some incredible pork ribs on the smoker, am I going to be disappointed by the brisket? 
 How old? How aged? How much aged? Aged how long? 
 30-45 days is optimal. 
21-30 days is enough.

more is funky/unpredictable.
less is not worth the effort. 

if you buy a whole chunk - u can cut steaks off along the way to see how it’s changing. 

u can always cut it up and freeze if u hit the stopping point. 
 Now I’m hungry. I’ve picked up ages steaks from Eataly before and I always loved the slightly odd smell. 
 Really is special. Lil adobo spice, red onion, jalapeño and a metric ton of butter 
 That is a big cut, how many lbs?  
 👀👀 
 Yes! Agreed! 
Here’s my 30 day. Hard as a rock!
