Italian Beef/Drip Beef

[BamaProud]

I am not sure exactly what I plan on doing with these, but thought I would age them a few weeks while I decide. They are both just under a pound.

I am thinking Italian beef(or drip beef) sandwiches. I thought there was thread about them on here not long ago, but don't see it now.

Is that baking soda on the plate? Is that meant to reduce the humidity?

Yes. There have been lots of experiments (search the web) aging meat at different humidity(s). Most conclude that it really doesn't matter as long as it isn't extremely low(below 20%) or extremely high (above 80%).

By the way, they are venison roasts.
