Dry-aging beef

I posted a method I've used to dry-age a prime rib in my Christmas Prime Rib post, but I've come across a product I'm going to try.  I ordered a sampler pack of dry age bags from UMAi:

This looks like Gore-Tex for meat!  It allows the moisture to escape, but keeps the air and bacteria out!  Check out the link, watch the videos, and see what you think.  There are a bunch of links on the site to YouTube videos, other forum reviews, and product info.  These look incredible.

I plan to buy either a top sirloin or full ribeye, and dry-age in the bag for 28 days.

I'll post a full review of the process (of course), and keep you all updated!

If you've never had dry-aged beef, you owe it to yourself to try it!  Dry aging reduces the moisture content in the meat, breaks down the connective tissue, and gives the beef a really "robust" beefy flavor (and makes it fork-tender).  These are the $50-$70 steaks at premium steak houses!

More to come!!
