wet aged beef --- filmy layer

[ctl98]

Hi! Need some help asap.. I just opened some wet aged sirloins and they had a filmy wet surface. Didn't smell bad but it was a bit slimy. Is this normal? Thanks!!!!

Yeah... It's a protein thing---- usually...

I give it a quick rinse, pat dry, get some salt on it, and toss it on the heat...

As long as it smells decent it'll be good...

I even prefer the wet aged beef that I buy in the vac sealed bags (usually Skirt) when it begins to smell 'just a touch' gamey...

It enhances the beef flavor to me...

Hi there,
Can you tell me how long wet aged beef is good for in the fridge after bought home from butchers if left sealed.
