Cooked the steaks. Here's my honest review. They were excellent steaks. Great flavor and tender as all get out. That being said, I'll take a butterflied venison filet any day of the week. I honestly couldn't tell a night-and-day difference between a good ribeye steak and one that had been aged 40 days. Nevertheless, here are the pictures I promised.
1. The aged roast as it came out of the fridge
2. Out of the bag
3. Shaving the bark
4. Done
5. Slicing. 1.5" thick turned out 10 steaks
6. I brushed each side in extra virgin olive oil, seasoned with sea salt and course black pepper mixed with some grocery store steak seasoning. Seared and brought to temp using soaked apple wood chunks over the coals.
