How long can beef be frozen?
The shelf life of frozen beef is 6- 12 months.

Beef is still the favorite of many friends, because it is rich in protein and low in fat, so it is very suitable for friends who are exercising and keeping fit. If you buy too much beef, you can freeze it in the refrigerator. Generally, the frozen quality of beef can last for 6- 12 months, but friends are advised to eat it as soon as possible.

If you buy a lot of raw beef at a time, it is better to freeze it directly and take out a part of it for stewing every time you eat it, or stew it all before freezing, and take out a part for reheating every time you use it. If it thaws at the time of purchase, it is best to cook it and freeze it, so as to ensure that the temperature will not deteriorate for about 3-6 months below -8 degrees.

Matters needing attention

If you buy it from vendors, you'd better do so, because their storage and transportation cannot be guaranteed. But if it takes too long, it may lead to discoloration. If it is taken directly from the manufacturer intact, or there is a similar guarantee, it can be frozen and eaten raw, so it can be kept for 6- 12 months. Before freezing beef, you should check whether the temperature in the refrigerator is set correctly.

Freezing is to slow down the spread of bacteria, not to stop the spread of bacteria. When the meat is frozen, the spread speed of various bacteria is obviously reduced, but it does not stop, so the meat is still deteriorating. Moreover, the nutrition of frozen beef is not as good as that of fresh beef, and its taste is also poor.
