Hey Raul, You can not dry age a frozen piece of meat. I would not even attempt to thaw out a subprimal and then try to age it. You need to start off with a fresh unfrozen whole ribeye.

I agree that you should not start the aging process when the meat is frozen. OTOH I disagree that a sub-primal that has been frozen can’t be thawed and aged. Why? I do it often! My sources of meat always buy them frozen. You just need to carefully thaw the meat in a slow safe environment of the refrigerator for several days. Dry the meat and bag it.
