I’m curious why you plan to go for a shorter period instead of longer. Your case of mold inside was the first and only one reported here so there most likely was bacteria on the meat before sealing. I am not a germ freak, but I always handle my raw meat with food safe disposable plastic gloves just as a caution and never let me meat rest on a counter. BTW those gloves are extremely cheap at SAM’S – two boxes of 500 gloves each for under 10 bucks.
I did not use gloves when I pout the meat in the bag. I will next time. I think the mold if from the bag not being in contact but thats just a guesse.
Only reason im thinking of a shorter time is to see what the flavor difference is like. Also maybe so I dont have to trim so much off. There was basically no fat left around the outside of the steak which seem to take away from the flavor. Again just my thought, maybe not true?
