Failure. Little experiment gone wrong.

I've made a few posts about the old cows we process where I work. I took home a few cuts in the middle of may and have been wet-aging them since. I cooked some flat irons two weeks ago and they were great.

Well, this spinalis wasn't. I took it out of the bag and it was pretty funky. Figured maybe just some bag funk, typical for vacuum-sealed meat. Seasoned it. Got ready to grill it later that day. Still smell funky. Almost fishy. Grilled it. It came off the grill smelling even stronger, but, being a man of science, I had to try it. Cut off a small piece. It tasted exactly as it smelled. Awful.x

Apparently you can wet age things too long!
