Content: Carefully wrap the filets so that you cover the steak entirely; don't leave any part of the steak exposed or peeking through the cheesecloth. Once you've wrapped your steaks in the layers of cheesecloth, place them on a wire rack. Space them out so that the steaks aren't touching. Place the wire rack in the back of a clean refrigerator. Avoid placing them near any foods with aromas that may be soaked up by the precious filets. Place a box of baking soda next to your steak to help fend off any odors that may be lingering in your fridge, despite your best efforts. Leave the steaks in the fridge for eight to 12 hours, but no longer than three days or you risk spoilage. Age a filet mignon, which is a smaller cut of steak, for only a day or two. The aged steak is ready when it looks brown and crusty.
