Would you eat a beef joint that's been frozen for a year??

[AlwaysTimeForWine]

Found a nice Sainsbury's beef joint lurking in the bottom of my chest freezer. I know it's been there a year as I remember buying it as am emergency christmas dinner for last year if we couldn't get out due to the snow (we really were snowed in!).

For whatever reason I have managed to ignore it for a year. Now I'm on an economy drive for the new year I want to eat it!

It's well wrapped, vacuum-wrapped actually and looks in pretty good condition.

Would you eat it when it's been frozen for a year??

yes

if i wasn't vegetarian

Yes

yes and often do ....

yep

So glad you all said that!

My instinct is that it will be absolutely fine but you never know. I usually freeze stuff for ages as I buy a lot of meat when it's discounted. But I think a year is the longest. That'll teach me to not get to the bottom of the chest freezer regularly!

Yes, but I'd pot-roast it with some juice rather than open roast it dry just in case its vacation in the freezer has left it a bit on the dry side.

Exactly what Cogito said. A slow cook rather than a fast one.

I probably wouldn't roast it but dice it up and make a beef bourguignon or similar.
