How long will you keep a steak in the freezer and eat it?

Till I eat it or feed it to the dog. You should be able to tell if it's freezer burnt and nasty when you thaw it out.

I’ve eaten several that were a few years old because they were vac sealed. They were just fine.

I ate shrimp frozen in water that were probably 5+ years old…couldn’t tell. If it keeps it’s vac seal I’d eat it unless it eats me…probably

I try to cycle through the freezer within a year otherwise stuff just gets buried and takes up space

I do that every 6-7 months or so. I will unpack the entire deep freeze and pull out shite at the bottom and put it at the top for the next few days to eat on. So it’s constantly rotating out

I’ve thrown away too much shite buried at the bottom of the freezer and this is a good way to ensure I’m not throwing away meat, because that realllllyyyyy pisses me off!

Every year, about mid-summer, I try to eat everything in my freezer. I'm doing that now, and I'm about halfway done. I should put the dates on the meat but I generally don't.

I have a small chest freezer in the garage. I start rotating the meats into my kitchen freezer and generally pull from the kitchen freezer, and rotate something from outside to the kitchen freezer.

Once my outside freezer is empty, I'll make a trip to Costco and stock up on prime steaks and the chicken and hamburger meat that come in multiple separate packages.

Once the freezer is partially stocked, I look for meats or seafood on sale and buy that. I will buy meat on sale and set aside some to cook and put the rest in the freezer building up the inventory. If I can't find anything I like on sale, I just go home and pull something out of the freezer.

Until the next hurricane.

For something that’s goes bad as fast as shrimp they sure do freeze well

I’ve literally never frozen a steak

They could be imo. Thaw and smell. Trust da noes it knows.
