Yes vacuum seal is the best way
Long skinny packs also stack in the freezer and defrost better in water in the sink better than big blocks of meat.

After processing I wrap it in a clean paper towel and vac seal. Write the cut and date and then freeze.

Another vote for vacuum sealing meats. I make my own sausages, buy large portions of rib eyes, N.Y strip steak, etc., cut my own steaks and vacuum seal with great results.

Vacuum seal is the only way to go

Yes, vacuum seal is the best method to avoid freezer burn and wasted meat.

Make sure it's dry, wrap TIGHT with Saran wrap, wrap in freezer paper. Will keep forever and a lot more durable than vacuum seal.

This. If it even gets frozen, I’ll usually pull it back out within 7-10 days.

I wrap mine with Saran Wrap and then freezer paper.I’ve had a few vacuum pack bags leak.Could have been my fault I suppose but bags are more expensive anyway.

I guess it’s just personal preference, but I like to keep the silver skin on it until I prep to cook. To me, it’s just more protection from freezer burn.

House of Waffles and Poule Deau Gravy are both espousing the Meat Eater method.

I put the whole strap in vac bag the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. I then freeze and prep the whole then at once down the road.

Dehydrate it thin and seal in ziplocks is how

IF it makes it to the freezer, I just wrap in freezer paper. It won't be there long, regardless.
