A 21 day Prime dry aged ribeye ready to cut.

The first thing I noticed when I took my first cut was the wonderful aroma. Much better than my first try with the choice grade ribeyes. The second thing I noticed was the color. A much darker red, not as pink. The last thing I noticed was a better marbling. We all know about the large fat vein in ribeyes, but this had better fat in the meat. So for your inspection…..

Rick, I just did the same cut-up yesterday with a choice rib eye from RD. Went trough the selection and found one well marbled. Looks about like yours. Interesting, this about RD-when their vac-packed wet aged subprimals get closer to their expiration date they cut them out of the herd and discount them. I've seen as much as $2/lb. which is fine with me. I dry age them in a Umai bag for 2 weeks, cut up and then vac. freeze. I can't detect any noticeable difference getting a fresh one and going 28 days. A duo will be going on the drum tomorrow. Rain is forecast, but when it's steaks on the drum...need I say more?
