"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 Tarrytown, New York. Tarrytown is 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.
