To cook, or not to cook the meat?

[Mr.Bon]

Hello guys and gals.
I purchased some ASDA Irish beef a few days ago.
Use by date was yesterday 22nd. Today is 23rd.
The meat has darkened (dark red) but doesn't smell funny.
Its been in a fridge thats near freezing temperature. The meat is actually half frozen.

Question is would it be safe to cook it? (or should I throw it out and order chinese for tonights dinner?)


EDIT: I cooked it, ate it, it was delicious -

Thats fine to eat.

 

[Monkey Puzzle]

Yeah that'll likely be fine.

 

[JBuk]

let it defrost fully first, then smell it again to make sure its still ok

 

[meghatronic]

It'll be fine. Just in case, cook it well.

Isn't most red meat coloured to make it look more appealing?

Usually beef is darker red because it has been hung longer.

 

[Mr.Bon]

Okay cheers guys, I'm going to defrost it fully and see what its like then.

I think they package quite a few meats in a Nitrogen rich atmosphere. Keeps the red colour apparently...

 

[Mr.Bon]

Oh by the way the packaging is opened... and has been for the last few days. Why? I cooked 1 of 3 pieces of beef on day of purchase.
So does this make a difference at all that its been opened? :s

 

[camels5]

no, its been in the fridge It'll be fine.

 

[Felix Da Housecat]

It will be fine.







But if not then I have first dibs on your pc

[alexakasloth]

What type of beef is it? Frying steak, stewing, minced?
