"I've always had fun with dumplings and I think our . . . aged beef dumpling pot stickers are special," chef Dale Talde says. The dumplings in question are made of 30-day dry-aged beef and on the menu at Talde's recently opened Goosefeather in the Tarrytown House Estate in Tarrytown, New York. It's about an hour or so north of the Big Apple, making it a bit of a trek even for New Yorkers craving a taste of Talde's cuisine. Luckily, he's been gracious enough to share the recipe for his dry-aged beef dumplings so instead you only have to travel to your kitchen.
