FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does raw boneless beef last in the fridge?
Raw boneless beef typically lasts 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator when stored at or below 40°F (4°C).
Can I freeze boneless beef?
Yes, boneless beef freezes very well. For best quality, use within 6 to 12 months, though it remains safe indefinitely if kept frozen at 0°F.
What is the best way to thaw frozen beef?
The safest way is in the refrigerator overnight. For faster thawing, use a cold water bath, changing the water every 30 minutes.
How can I tell if the beef has gone bad?
Signs of spoilage include a sour or ammonia-like smell, a slimy or sticky texture, and a distinct grey or greenish color.
What are good substitutes for beef?
Depending on the recipe, you can use lamb, bison, venison, or plant-based meat alternatives like seitan or soy-based crumbles.
Why does beef sometimes turn grey in the middle of the package?
This is often due to a lack of oxygen reaching the center (oxidation), which is normal and doesn't necessarily mean the meat is spoiled if it smells fresh.
What is the recommended internal cooking temperature?
For safety and quality, steaks and roasts should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) followed by a 3-minute rest.
Is boneless beef high in iron?
Yes, beef is one of the best sources of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than the non-heme iron found in plants.
