No strong smell and firm texture. I cooked 3 pieces to test, taste is a lot different but doesn't seem bad. I don't have experience with dry aged, never ate it.
If it was only for me I would probably eat it but I was planning on serving it to a date with pasta.

You pastramafied it
Congrats you made jerky
You’ll be fine. The crust should be amazing!
I forgot about 1 the same way except for 2 days. Certainly did not taste as good and texture was way worse so I expect 4 days to be quite bad.
If it doesn’t smell then it’s fine. You’ve basically cured it.
I dry brine my steaks for 24hrs at the most.
If your nose doesn’t smell something off it should be fine. Don’t expect a juicy bite of steak though, it’ll be chewy haha
Dry aging does not involve salting, that’s a completely different thing. You basically cured this meat. It’s probably safe, but I’d only be guessing if it’s tasty to eat.
It’l be safe, but tough, proably best chopped up small and put in a slow cooker/stew or something.
If it’s for a date, I’d buy a new steak, and just eat that one on my own time, in shame.
Isn’t that basically biltong?
It looks cured. Probably not dangerous to eat but might be salty?
“Dry” aged
Your dog loves jerky treats. If no dog, keep drying and curing, you might like jerky treats.
Better to smoke it than anything else. You’ll get some delicious smoked jerky.
If it doesn’t smell bad then it’s fine
I agree with everyone here as I am no pro. With that said, I left one salted in the fridge for 3 days out of laziness. I let it come up to temp and straight into a hot pan. For me at least, that was one tasty steak
Your Nose knows
If it smells like shit it probably shit 💩
That is going to be a tasty steak, properly seared and rested.
Try it and let me know if it was safe or not
Get it down ya
You have basically cured it Absolutely fine to eat might be a bit salty
It’s an extended dry brine at this point. It may have more pop to it at 4 days but should still be edible.
From a safety perspective, there’s a reason that what you did to it is called “curing”
salted or not, how are you even asking if 4 days in the fridge is safe to eat ? lol
Of course it, is even moreso if salted.
I usually leave mine on the wire rack for a day or 2 before I pull them out its the inly way I eat them anymore.
Lookin’ like some damn good jeef berky
Full send it
Dry aged beef. That’s supposed to be awesome!
Send it to me, I’ll eat it.
Yes.
Smoke it. Won’t take long because it is a steak and when I do corned beef in the smoker it comes out awesome.
I would destroy that without cooking 🤣🤣🤣
Jerky time. Slice it up. Toss it in the air fryer, set on dehumidify and in 6 hours, enjoy.
You will know if meat is bad the smell will be very overwhelming to anyone.
Give it a couple minutes a side in a ripping hot cast iron and eat
Congrats you have cured meat
Home made dry age go for it
Cube it, velvet it, then shallow fry it. Then add veggies in the same pan and deglaze with some Asian sauce combo. Got yourself the best stir fry ever.
have done it many times. texture won’t be the best but you’ll be fine.
I do something similar on purpose! Should be tasty 🙂
you pretty much dry aged it for 4 days. Looks fine to me
Hell yeah, now its dry aged!
Bouta be a fire ass steak
Yes. I do it all the time. Tastes great.
I don’t know why people don’t just sniff it. I promise your nose and stomach will tell you if it wants you to eat it
You dry aged it.
