Costco Prime Beef, Drybags, RRP's Video

mkc

First, a heads' up - Costco in Southlake, TX has prime ribeye steaks, roasts today. I picked up a lonely looking 6.52 lb boneless roast at 10.99/lb. Primals (is that what you call the large, vacuum packs of bone-in?) were something like $8.99 I think.

I only went for cheese (16 lbs of Tillamook sharp cheddar) to smoke for Christmas presents this weekend, but I just couldn't pass up that roast.

Then, trying to decide what to do with all that meat, and remembering RRP's YouTube video of using a Foodsaver to successfully vac and seal a Drybag, I broke down and ordered the combo pack of bags.

The Monogram fridge we have has a "Climate Keeper" drawer that I can set to "meat", or 34 degrees F. I'd dry-aged a "nekkid" 2-bone rib roast for 7 days in it once before and it worked beautifully, but I'd like to try the longer aging with the Drybag.

You guys are always such a great source of inspiration

Man, at one time that Costco was ground zero for egg dealers, 3 within one mile of the joint. this is perfect cheese smoking weather in n. tx.....t

Yes, still has BBQ Outfitters (my dealer) in the area.

And it definitely is cheese smoking weather!

BTW, M-i-l and S-i-l were given your website with the adjustable rig combo as a Christmas idea.....

That was a good deal on prime graded beef!
BTW here's a link back to that post of using a Food Saver to seal Drybags. It also has a link to the clip I posted on You Tube. You dry age that prime beef and it will be GREAT!!!

Michelle, when you get that primal sealed, let us know if it worked okay. I want to try it too.
