I was in the process of dry aging a couple of ribeye loins for 40 days for Christmas.The cooler had some issues so I had to cut the time short to 25 days.:roll::mad:

Just be careful. Dry aging is great but also can be somewhat dangerous. Humidity, light and temperature all play serious roles. The plate (Microorganism) count gets extremely high during the process.

In other words you may give people the ****s while they are unwrapping presents!

Not to rain on the idea, just trying to keep you safe. I would freeze them now in your cryovac bags. Thaw in fridge on the 21st or 22nd.
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH those look marvelous!!!!!! How ya gonna cook em? And don't be lite on them there pron's OK! :thumb:
 
I've worked in restaurants where we dry aged and cut our own steaks and 25 days should be plenty. I agree that you should probably freeze those cause once trimmed and cut, those aren't going to keep till christmas. Lookin good!
 
@ Rumybut,thanks.I'm gonna grillem on my BGE til they are just barely medium rare.

They are frozen in foodsaver bags.Thanks
 
I'm thinking you might get sick from eating those steaks. Better send me one so I can test it for ya. :mrgreen: The look great!!:-D
 
To me dry aging is for the scientist, too risky for me to tinker with. To many factors involved. I will stick to the wet aging process for my beef.
Sorry you had to cut your process short. Looks like you had an awsome start on things. Could just vacume suck all that and continue on with wet aging in the fridge.
Should be OK I would think.
 
You dry aged them whole and then sliced?
 
those steaks really do look like they are going to be great.
