re: Got a butt tenderloin at Rouses- Smelled like arse

I have bought whole top sirloins in cryovac before and aged them in my refrigerator for 21 days before--it does smell when you open it but I highly recommend it.

I like to take those whole sirloins and but them in about 3 lb steaks. I grill them and cross cut them to serve. It is very flavorful and a great value in beef.

I once visited with a manager at Vic and Anthony's and he told me they wet age their beef and did a taste test vs dry age and the tester could not pick which was which.

When you see those top sirloins on sale ask the butcher for a whole one still in the pack. He can tell the pack date and age it 3 weeks or so and you will be happy.
