        Jonathon The couple that I cooked up were really tender. I can’t tell you how they compare to a fresh steak at this point though, because I’m at the tail end of having a cold, and my taste buds aren’t really working. I didn’t hear any complaints from my wife, so it must have been alright.

        Congrats they look great, I’m sure they ate well also, how ever don’t waste the trimmings bag them up and freeze and use them for added meat to your homemade sausages.
        I also aged some last spring with UMAI bags check it out “truger”

            35 days later here are the results. I do feel thst tying helped the meat to retain its shaoe more. I also tried cutting one steak by its self then trimming off the bark, and found it was much easier to trim the whole primal then individual steaks.

                I am looking at trying my hand at drying some beef and venison to make something similar to what I could get from my local locker when we lived much farther south. It was sort of like what you would find in a jar on the shelf, only better. Used basically for SOS/chipped beef.

                Anyone have any direction or ideas I can use and move forward? I assume it is similar to jerky only a longer process to cure and dry.

                  YooperDog Billtong? Is that what you are referring too? That would be interesting because that is something I am digging into and will be one of my next projects!

                    Jonathon It is somewhat similar, but it is a whole muscle that is dry cured, smoked and left to dry some more. It is then shaved into pieces and use as needed. Reminiscent I would say of a large piece of jerky. Biltong I think is more like larger pieces of flavored/seasoned meat turned into thick jerky.

                            Mcjagger my brother has used their products and is happy with the product and the product they produced. My brothers foray is with whole muscles not sausage though.

                              Just finished up my first attempt making Umai dry cured pepperoni sausage. I followed the directions provided. The directions say to use 10mm-12mm plate to grind but I think I would reduce the size of the grind on the fat to the 4.5mm plate and keep the lean meat grind at 10mm. It was a remarkable easy process and took 4 weeks to achieve a 40% weight loss. I used the spice package provided and which a slight fennel taste which I didn’t mind at all. I think I will try a different spice mix next time along with the grind changes but overall I think it was a very successful experiment !!!
