Are you craving a juicy and tender steak that will melt in your mouth? The first thing that comes to mind is probably a soft beef tenderloin. Due to its tenderness and amazing taste, tenderloin is considered the best quality cut, however, as you may know, it isn’t the only delicious steak that you can use in your culinary kingdom.
We can thank the cowboys of the Wild West for their “invention” of the dish known as Rib Eye Steak – they were the first to realize that the best tasting cuts were located around ribs, especially when it comes to grilling. Ribeye can be compared to tenderloin in flavor and tenderness only after its been aged, a process which makes the cut juicer, softer and tastier. The dry ageing process, which is executed in special climate-controlled coolers or within a moisture-permeable drybag, gives the meat an elevated quality, finer texture and incredible taste. This is a very expensive procedure that may sound complicated, however you can replicate a similar effect at home with the help of the Zepter VacSy system. Alternatively, you can also purchase aged steaks at upscale butcher shops.
For our recipe, we have the VacSy system taking over the role of meat aging container and our Quadra pan assuming the role of barbeque, making it easy to prepare the perfect grilled rib eye steak in your home kitchen! Additionally, Zepter Masterpiece Cookware’s use of superior 316 L metal, advanced technology and innovative design enables cooking without water and fats. Food is healthier yet tastier, retains its natural aromas, flavors, nutritive and biological values and produces no dangerous substances.
Note: Even though red meat is a good source of protein, healthy fats and iron, it is not recommended for daily consumption if you wish to maintain a healthy diet.

Chef's Tip:
The steaks should be 1.5 - 2 cm thick. Do not tenderize, cut or poke the meat with a fork before cooking. Serve homemade dips to compliment the steak: chimichurri, guacamole, chili salsa or Dijon mustard.
