how long can steak sit in fridge before preparation
Do not marinate longer than over night. Food has a refrigerated shelf life. Marinating does not extend that shelf life. The shelf life for chicken or turkey is 1 to 2 days. This includes the day of purchase and thawing time. The shelf life for beef, lamb or pork steaks or chops is 2 to 3 days. For roasts it is 3 to 4 days.
