Please post your pics when you do the trimming, before and after. I've been buying mine at Rudolph's Meat Market on Elm in Dallas. Would love to try this and save some cash. Those should be out of this world !!

I'll drive to Waco to help you eat that, WR. I'll even bring a Napa cabernet or a pinotage from South Africa.
No drive is too far for a great steak. We're driving to Wills Point tonight to eat at the Four Winds Steak House on LeRoy Jordan's ex-ranch. It'll be a first for us.

I heard good things about Four Winds. We went to Mitchells in Clifton last Saturday. They had the house band from Eddie V's playing. It was okay, we'd been a couple times, but this last time wasn't great.

Any guess on how much wasted meat you'll have? If you are under 10% then this has to be a money saving deal !!

My research claims 10-15%. Some of it will be moisture and some will be the dried surface. I will try and get some weights when it is done. I'm planning on doing a smoked prime with half of it and cowboy cuts with the rest. I just checked on it and there are more air pockets than I want, but the bag mfg says its okay to have a few as long as the plastic is touching the majority of the meat.

I hope this turns out well for ya,BUT I am really skeptical..Dry aging is such a ART and done at extremely controlled temps and humidity..Most dry aging places will only open the vault once a day......

Same here, I really hope it turns out well. Having said that, everything I have read from the people that do this for a living say it can't be done for a lot of reasons. Poor circulation in fridge, bacteria, humidity, a lot of things working against it. But who knows, it very well may turn out great

I hope it turns out too! I'm very familiar with steakhouse aging, yes it requires controlled temp, humidity, and air flow. That's why I'm fully invested in the designer bag from UMAI.
