Need to bump this back up for anyone that hasn’t tried it. I did 3 Filets, choice cut, so not incredible pieces of meat that had Koji on them for 48 hours and 1 that had none. The difference was staggering. I’ll be doing this on all steaks I cook in the future.
I have an ager, but it takes like a month to get the same results. Plus there is more of a loss of meat.
Amazing steaks, thank you so much BADdog. This is one of the best culinary “secrets” I’ve tried in a long, long time.

A good reasonably thick strip steak is ideal for this. Searing it with some clarified butter is also nice touch. I love it with pineapple that has been salted peppered and honey toward the end.

FYI I saw online RED is supposed to be the best steak house in Ohio. I haven't been to all the steak houses in Ohio, but I have been to Red a couple of times and it is superb. I would rank it with St. Elmo's in Indy, Berns in Tampa, Gibsons in Chicago, or Peter Lugers in Brooklyn.

I am glad this thread was bumped by C dawg...got to give it a shot. I do age meat, sometimes up to 3-4 weeks on a rack.
If this keeps from having to wrap in cheese cloth for a few days then wait 25 days, I am game. Space is the problem. I just can't age enough of it long enough to eat as much as I want without going to a specialty butcher here in town and buy their aged steaks that cost me about $45 or so each. I work out of 1 refrigerator , not a walk in cooler. I have thought about a 2nd fridge in the basement for aging steaks
If this process works, and I trust Columbus...he is a foodie like I am, this is going to be a thing of beauty.
I will gladly buy another blender. Maybe it would be better if I just got another spice mill or coffee grinder. Looks like a couple of grinders full would do the trick.
I tossed the blender I had. I don't make frozen drinks or smoothies. It just took up space under the counter.

Nice find. I like to flip the steak after the first couple hours so the bottom koji doesnt get too wet. then flip it again a couple times the following days. So the bottom doesnt get wet compare to the top. idea is to get a dryish crust

So the bottom doesnt get wet compare to the top. idea is to get a dryish crust Are you putting the steak on a wire rack? That should allow for air circulation. Also, try putting the meat in the "crisper" bin. That pulls out moisture to keep lettuce crisp longer.

Look at my pics I role up tinfoil on a plate, it works just fine doesnt take up much room in the fridge. The steak juices go to the bottom and make it more wet thats why I flip it.

I think the fungus might need the moisture to do its work Pulling moisture out might not help with this technique

Thats $50 a pound I am saying use Koji and you can get something similar for $13 a pound.
