Dry aging individual steaks is completely retarded. You're supposed to dry age the entire primal, then trim it and cut the steaks. All you're really doing with this method is drying out the outside in the fridge, not true dry aging.

Otherwise, it's just a standard sear, finish in the oven, then make a pan sauce recipe. Nothing particularly unique about it at all.

Pic related, my prime steaks after 6 days aging in the fridge.

When they're cooked and rested properly and you cut one of these with a steak knife the big difference you should notice is how the surface of the meat doesn't even shift or move with the sawing motion of the knife. The knife just glides down through it as if it is a razor sawing through a warm stick of butter. That's what the aging process does, enzymes and the gradual warming + low heat break down all connective tissue, and with the 60 second sear it's a meaty block of pure beef flavorfulness with a salty peppery crust.

Wouldn't that oxidize the shit out of them?

Yes. THat's why real dry aging is done with the full primal cuts in a carefully temperature and humidity controlled cooler with proper air flow. The oxidized parts are then trimmed off and then steaks are cut from the primal.

All that's being achieved here is purposefully drying out some perfectly good steaks.
