From my butcher last night. This thing is massive, 2.37 lbs. Anyways, I got home, popped it in the fridge, and went to change out of my work clothes. Its been a rough few days, so I laid down in my bed, next thing you know, I wake up and its 5 AM in the morning! I am traveling down to Mississippi today to see my Rebels play the Georgia Dawgs this weekend, and my question is this: Will this bad boy still be good when I get home, or do I need to eat her before lunch? Thank you for the input!
 
I don't think it'll make it, better send it to me. I'll dispose of that for you :mrgreen:

It'll be fine. If you're worried at all, vacuum sealing it would probably help keep it fresher if you have one, but I think you'll be fine.
 
Well I appreciate the advice, but I thought why risk it?! Plus vacation has officially started! Will post pics haha

That is a beautiful piece of meat. It would have been fine until Sunday, but it'll be pretty damn fine right now too!
 
And the finished product. Thinking if I had let it cook at low temp for a bit longer it may have rendered out some of that fat. Thanks for the advice/looking!

You say you like 'em rare, eh. :wink:
Like the chances of Ole Miss beating Georgia!!! :p
 
I've let rib eyes sit wrapped in plastic 10-14 days in bottom of fridge. Oops to late. Nice cook. I
Quite often buy discounted steaks due to approaching sell buy dates, most of the time they sit a while with me. Choice and prime CAB half price tastes really good.
