I dried a new York strip whole roast for 28 days, it was my first time using the UMAI dry bags, and when I trimmed the outer layer off and cut Steaks off, the meat was nice and red and then grilled them, they were delicious. I also dried a bottom round roast it was delicious too. It is fun to do and rewarding. I have one bag left I don't know what I'm going to do next, Thank you.
