The funk added a new layer of flavor that really took the meat over the top.
Another surprise was the firmer texture. It's a hard thing to wrap your head around. The texture is firmer, but the meat is more tender. It almost seems like it should be the other way around.
If I were to do this again, I don't think I would consider doing it for less than 60 days.

Out of the bag - Day 60






Meh...





I can attest to the fact that dem steaks were fan-farking-tastic!
