Lets get past the "incubation period" before celebrating Mr Ticking Timebomb..

You should be fine since you didnt go to the normal aging time. How much meat do you think you lost? Did you firm them up in the freezer prior to cutting? Seems like that would suck to cut straight otherwise.

good question..i lost around the edges and i would say the top/bottom were sliced about the thickness of a slice of american cheese...or maybe a tad thinner..the 'skins' are still in my trash can..i can take a pic of those later if they haven't come to life by the time i get back home.

i used an electric knife so i could slice it razor thin. only took about 10 minutes for all 6.

Would you want to walk into the meat section with a bunch of meat laying out exposed though?
It didn't bother the meat that we had hanging from the rafters in the screen porch at the camp...Most of the time, it hung at least a week, with afternoon temps reaching into at least the 70's..

You had sliced meat hanging on hooks outside at your camp?

This thread reminds me of a lady who once ordered a white zinfandel. Brought it to the table and she said this isn’t white zinfandel its pink and sent it back so I got the cheapest house wine we had and brought it to her and she says this is much better. She sure thought she was sophisticated...but in the end she didn’t know crap.


You can call it what ever YOU want to but letting ribeyes sit in the fridge for 6 days isnt ageing..its spoiling.

Had a giftcard to Sullivans from work so went Friday night. They had a 14oz 28 day dry aged NY Strip as a special. I decided to get that and could not stop thinking about this thread. It was the best steak I have ever had.

I'm glad you liked the steaks. They looked a little scary to me. I don't think I have the guts to try it at home.

A few years ago, I was at the Rouse's near Lafayette and there was a free standing clear walled sort of refrigerator in the meat area with aging meats in it. They didn't have any green on them, though.

At least we can see from the photo that the steaks were dirty and your feet were clean.
