Has this meat gone off? Pic.

Help please!

I bought this pack of diced steak yesterday. The bb date is tomorrow.

Has it gone off? I don't normally cook meat so I don't know if the brown bits are ok.

Thanks 😔

I probably wouldn’t risk it but I don’t know either

JustHereForThePooStoriesFella · 13/04/2019 16:44

It’s likely just discolouration from being exposed to air. Sniff it and see.

It looks fine to me. The most important clue is in how it smells.

LEDadjacent · 13/04/2019 16:45

Usually nothing to worry about with meat gone brown.

MunchMunch · 13/04/2019 16:46

Beef is ok when it's brown, unless it stinks.
I think it's when the blood has came into contact with oxygen and from what I remember brown beef is better than the bright red meat.

Rubytinsleslippers · 13/04/2019 16:46

I would use it. The brown bits are nothing to worry about.
People are too quick to throw out.
If there is no weird smell it is fine.
Make sure you cook properly but it is absolutely fine.

How's it meant to smell? It doesn't smell horrible but it's not a particularly nice smell. 😂 I was vegetarian for 20 years. I'm clueless.

Looks fine. Sniff it to double check

EnormousDormouse · 13/04/2019 16:47

I was veggie for 28! It's a steep learning curve for us ex veggies!
You would know if it's off - it should smell a bit irony (blood) but nothing that makes you gag

BoobiesToTheRescue · 13/04/2019 16:48

I always think it smells a bit like period.
🤢
When it's off though, you will recoil. We are designed to be disgusted by the smell of rotten meat.

It looks fine.

aspoonfulofyourownmedicine · 13/04/2019 16:49

Looks fine to me - it would stink really bad if it was off

WallyBee · 13/04/2019 16:49

Boobies hahahaha I feel sick now 😂

I think I'll just cook it.

Thanks everyone.

It looks fine OP. You'll be able to smell it if it's off.

Allfednonedead · 13/04/2019 16:58

Looks fine to me. I’m a committed carnivore.

It looks like that because the outer bits get oxidised, as a pp said.
