UMAi Dry Aging Bags – Dry Age Thai Steaks In Your Refrigerator

Dry Aging Thai Beef to make Great Steaks!

Everyone knows that Thai Beef is not that great.  One thing that is is not done to improve poor quality steaks is dry aging.  Dry aging will make a cheap piece of meat you get at your local market into a much more tender steak bursting with flavor.

Traditionally, dry aging requires a special unit that maintains a temperature of 35-40F as well as low humidity.  Science has changed all that.  With the UMAi Dry Aging Bags, you can dry age a subprimal (uncut) strip loin, ribeye, or most any subprimal piece of meat to make it awesome.

The Dry Aging Bag creates an environment to age the meat in your every day refrigerator.  No special equipment is needed.  The specially designed membrane allows air to enter so that drying effects takes place while allowing moisture to leave.  The membrane also keeps flavors that may be next to it OUT of the meat so you won’t get any cross contamination of flavors.  Aging time is really up to you.  21 days should be minimum for a tender steak.  35 days is good for adding additional dry aged meat flavor.  Longer will give it even more flavor.  It’s up to you how much to age.  You have full control.

There are 2 ways to seal the meat in the dry aging bag.  Immersion and Vacuum Seal.  With both methods, the goal is to have as much of the surface of the meat in contact with the bag.

Dry Aging Bag Immersion Sealing

In our opinion, this is the most effective method and does not require a vacuum sealer at all.  As with vacuum sealing, you want good contact with the bag.  This video is a step-by-step guide on how to do Immersion Sealing.  Be warned, the ending will get your mouth watering.

Dry Aging Bag Vacuum Sealing

If you do have a vacuum sealer, you can use this method to seal the bag.  Bear in mind that these are NOT vacuum bags so you will not have a true vacuum, but will have air pockets in the bag.  As long as you have most of your meat in contact with your bag, it’s all good. Each bag comes with a “Vac Mouse.” Check out this video.

Bottom line, if you love tender and great tasting steak without having to buy expensive imported beef, this is for you.
