How do you determine the freshness of the meat?

Answer 1

Although not a perfect test, your senses are usually the most reliable instruments to tell if your beef has gone bad. Some common traits of bad beef are dull, slimy flesh and a sour smell. The beef will change from a reddish color to a brown or gray color. To tell if beef in your freezer has been there too long, you will see freezer burn starting to appear on the beef.
