We had a big roast that I thawed a little earlier than I should have (thawed by Monday). My plan was always to cut it up into steaks, so I cut it up Monday night and my plan is to cook them Sunday, but I’m seeing some discoloration. Do you all think they’re ok? I’m not smelling anything bad from them and they seem pretty dry.

If they smell fine they are fine
The nose knows.
It’s perfectly fine!
You’re dry-aging them!
It looks wonderful
Smell it.
Just oxidation. You good.
Little salt can help preserve the Meat while refrigerating. Looking at the oxidation and or color, if a fly lands on the meat that’s actually a good side means it passes the flys smell test.
I wouldn’t hesitate to throw those cuts on my grill tonight!
Looks incredible
They look fantastic!
If you don’t want it I’ll take it..
As previously mentioned go by smell. Most stores add color to make beef look more appealing. I often pick up a ribeye and find they put the sticker over the dark spot
Kosher salt all sides and edges.
Smell it then tell your wife to smell it, then get your kids to smell it. If you don’t have any, go next door and ask the neighbor to smell it. If he says no then you’re gtg.
If he says yes and smells it then you need to throw it away because you just let a stranger stick their nose in your food!
No! Send it to me immediately for proper disposal.
Better get another opinion and send to me
I mean it’s dead
Yeah, it’s fine.
It’s a little over cooked for me. 🙂
I always go by smell!
That meat is fresh as daisies.
No, I’ll send you my address so I can dispose of it
They’re fine
The discoloration happens from the iron in the steak being exposed to oxygen, which naturally makes it turn gray. If you keep it in safe temperatures, then is should be fine
I’m sorry to break it to you, but that meat has been dead for a long time.
No! I’m come pick it up and dispose of it.
That beef would stand a chance around me. Enjoy
Nope toss em. I’ll take em off your hands I certainly don’t want you getting ill as I’ll properly dispose of them in a safe and responsible manner, my kind sir.
Looks good to me
Did you beat it?
