how long does vacuum sealed frozen steak last for
Food Safety: How long can frozen vacuum-sealed steak wait in the refrigerator after thawing, before cooking? I'm not sure about the difference between community butcher packaging and cryovac. I've done this with steaks frozen for ~2mo at -18C and then left in the fridge at 5C for 12 days before cooking -- smelled fine, and tasted fine.
Storage Time. Steak retains its quality and flavor for six to 12 months when frozen properly. Steak is usually frozen raw, but it is possible to cook steak prior to freezing. Cooked meats may not retain optimum flavor and are more prone to drying during the freezing and thawing processes.
