What is required:

  1. Vacuum Sealer
  2. UmaiDry Bags
  3. A large cut of meat
  4. An elevated cooling rack

    You can purchase a kit from UmaiDry that has both the Vacuum sealer and the bags, this is what I used to get started:
    https://umaidry.com/collections/all/products/dry-aged-steak-bags-kit

    As for the meat I usually go to Costco. I usually get a Prime ribeye that is between 16 and 18lbs and they usually price it at $10/lb. I prefer using prime because of the marbling, but you can also purchase choice for about $5/lb and the end result will be about as tender as a prime steak.

    Any cooling rack will do, here is the style that I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DTBMPEK/ref=psdc_289721_t3_B07D7ZV1H2

    The goal is to allow air to circulate around the beef to speed up the drying process.

    THE PROCESS:

  5. Prepare your umami dry bag by curling back the edges by the opening to prevent any juice from the meat from running down the outside of the bag.
  6. Cut open one side of the bag that your cut of beef came in, drain out excess moisture from the bag but DO NOT dry the meat. The moisture is crucial for the umai bags.
  7. Put the open end of the bag of meat into the umai bag, the goal is to not touch the meat so we do not contaminate it. Once it is fully in you can start to lift the back of the bag from the beef and let it slowly fall into the Umai bag.
  8. Once it is in the bag you can fold the edges back up and get ready to seal it.
  9. Do your best to get the meat into the corner of the UmaiDry bag, this will help when sealing to get out the maximum amount of moisture.
  10. First use the seal only feature to seal about a 3 inch diagonal section of the bag on the top corner. The vacuum sealer is not wide enough for the entire Umai Dry bag so this ensures that when you actually vacuum seal it.
  11. Place one of the white seal strips near the edge of the open section of the bag. Press the vacuum and seal button and as its sealing do your best to massage as much air out as possible. YOU WILL NOT GET ALL THE AIR OUT! Its pretty much impossible. It should be tight around the meat, but small pockets are okay.
  12. At this point make a couple extra seals above the originals just to ensure that you have the best possible results and no air slips in.
  13. You can now place the steak on the drying rack in the fridge. It should have plenty of open air around it for best results.
  14. Every 5-10 days flip the meat, although we are using a drying rack for circulation the bottom still will not get as much circulation as the top so its good to flip it over every now and again.
  15. WAIT!
  16. After anywhere from 28-50 days your meat will be ready. Trim the meat and you will have some of the most flavorful and tender cuts of meat you have ever had at home.

Welp, before I finished reading your post I was going to suggest The Food Lab--it really is a great book for understanding why something should be cooked in a certain way, and not just how. I have a copy, so if you had questions I supposed I'd be happy to answer to the best of my ability.

Aside from that, Cook's Illustrated's The Meat Book would be my other recommendation. Cooks Illustrated also does a fantastic job of explaining why recipes work, so you can adapt them or apply the techniques you've learned to different dishes.

Lastly:

>please be gentle

That's Rule #1.

Hi op, this was one of Anthony Bourdain's favourite cookbooks by one of his favourite cooks-if you've not read it I'd suggest that it's right up your alley.
Nose to Tail Eating: A Kind of British Cooking https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0747572577/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_k0.xCbC4CVBKA

I love his 'trotter gear' It's a rich & flavourful stock-type substance, highly versatile & hugely delicious.

The Meat Buyers Guide is a good resource.

I also enjoyed The Butcher's Guide as a general introduction to the business.

I recently attended a workshop by master butcher Kari Underly and her book looks pretty awesome although I don't own a copy.

u/austincook63 · 2 pointsr/meat

Not exactly butcher books, but I really love Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman and Seven Fires by Francis Mallmann. Those two books literally changed my life by inspiring me to re-evaluate what I wanted to achieve as a professional cook.

u/auto180sx · 1 pointr/meat

A book I recently picked up, The Art of Beef Cutting would probably be really helpful for you. I've got a new apprentice I'm training so I got it mostly for him. Lot's of information and some great diagrams. Highly suggested for someone wanting to learn more.

u/deadgalaxies · 5 pointsr/meat

If you haven't checked it out yet I definitely recommend Kenji's The Food Lab book. It's changing my life for the better.

u/j_from_cali · 1 pointr/meat

Not OP, but from the picture it looks like this one: Victorinox Fibrox. They're not high-end, but are good, cheap knives, with a rubberized grip that makes them not slippery.

u/SheerFartAttack · 3 pointsr/meat

Nice work! What cure and wood do you use?

I make one belly a month as well. I use Ruhlmans bacon cure but half the salt, apple and hickory.

I also use this knife slicing knife it’s way better than any cheap slicer. Unless you’re getting a Hobart commercial slicer it’s just gonna be a nightmare.

u/BalrogTheLunchbox · 1 pointr/meat

It`s actually called a (s)cimitar. I have a 10' scimitar from Messermeister that has better feel in hand for me due to the slightly exaggerated finger guard. If you are thinking of a breaking blade, you probably would think more about a butcher knife.

u/BaconGivesMeALardon · 4 pointsr/meat

If you truly are interested in doing charcuterie right you need to do the butchering yourself. American butchers use bandsaws. Italian traditional butchers use a knife and gravity (Seam Butchery).

Good on ya. Not sure this needs a posh garnish, but carry on nonetheless.

Once you start making sausages every month, an LEM 5# stuffer is a good investment, along with a decent electric grinder.

u/Okeano_ · 4 pointsr/meat

This? Granton recommended? Advantage of that vs a slicer?

u/drewid20 · 1 pointr/meat

Jaccard a thin piece and make chicken fried steak on a bed of mash potatoes and gravy. Mmmm. Cheap and delicious.

What's your budget? The kitchen aid grinder attachment is your best option. A hand crank grinder might be less, but not by much...

u/billtabas · 1 pointr/meat

Okay ordered both of these blades.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0777KV24L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not sure if their the same exact one nor if they will work with the weston 32. Besides it being able to fit, what are other signs it would work?

https://www.amazon.com/Habor-Thermometer-Instant-Digital-Temperature/dp/B01LKRHW3E/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=meat+thermometer&qid=1558649235&s=gateway&sr=8-3

​

Anyone and everyone, buy a thermometer immediately. $10 for perfectly cooked meat and never catching salmonella for the rest of your life. No brainer.

u/orangetoaster · 6 pointsr/meat

They use the Victorinox 6" boning knife for almost everything. https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Curved-Fibrox-Boning-Flexible/dp/B0019WQDOU

​

Edit: can confirm its a really nice knife, and cheap. Also they literally say what the knife is at the beginning of the video.

u/JarvisHBD · 3 pointsr/meat

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Meat-Cookbook-Bruce-Aidells/dp/061813512X

The description is a little far-fetched (or at least inaccurate). Being that it's almost 20 years old, it doesn't go into organic and grass-fed much, if at all. So don't buy it for that.

EDIT: You can see the table of Contents at the Amazon link. That may be a little deceptive, too. It's probably 3/4's recipes and 1/4th advice/information. But the recipes are matched with the subject/cuts being discussed and give you a a good idea of how to cook (and how not to) most cuts. Wich is most of what you need to know. You don't have to follow recipes (I never do), but pay attention to the techniques rather than the ingredients in the recipes.

u/l33tredrocket · 2 pointsr/meat

Buy these books: The Art of Beef Cutting and The Meat Buyer's Guide They're worth every cent and literally follow or set the industry standard for protein cuts.

And visit these sites: Bovine Myology and Austin Texas Butcher. The latter is run by /u/Reece1 and it's top notch.
