Do you think these Omaha steaks are still safe to eat?

officially they should only be good for 6 months. if you kept freezer closed during outage and they stayed frozen then i would say if no frost present on the meat itself when you removed it from the freezer then it could be ok. let it set opened for 1 hr on your counter to get to room temp prior to cooking if it is bad you should not be able to hold your nose to it once that hr is up.

No, no, and no!! Beef should never be stored more than a few months (in optimal conditions) in the freezer. Any power outages and the meat should have been used within the next two days to ensure safety. Eight hours is a long time and thawing will have begun - thus, the possibility of taint is very strong.

Hate to waste what would have been good meat but, better to do that than have you and family visiting an ER for food poisoning.

I wouldnt but.....

open the packages to smell them

if they smell fine then cook em

the 8 hour outages probably didnt thaw them if you didnt open the freezer a bunch

i'm incredibly constructive they are greater healthful for human intake. If the marinade particularly contained alcohol, the alcohol might have preserved the beef even it particularly is now previous the expiration date. If it had a "sell by utilising" date, meaning the keep ought to sell it by utilising that date, yet that commonly skill the beef etc. may well be greater healthful for human intake for 2-3 days previous that date. i might eliminate your steak from the marinade, pat it dry and prepare dinner it at present or freeze it. i'm somewhat shocked by utilising that Chef''s answer, maximum marinades that incorporate alcohol or acid will shield the beef for countless days and maximum beef products, different than possibly floor beef, might nevertheless be greater healthful for human intake 4 days whilst they have been offered as long as they have been refrigerated, marinated or no longer.

I would not eat them. It is not worth risking getting sick over...especially as you are already recovering from being unwell.xx
