Beef in freezer about 1 month. Currently in fridge, defrosting slowly. Intend to fry beef, make up a pot of Bolognese sauce, take 1 portion and then (hopefully, if it's not unsafe) freeze the sauce to be thawed and reheated another day, say within 2 weeks. Is this safe or am I messing with nasty bugs?!!!

It is fine to do this. As long as the beef does not sit out in room temperature for hours in between the cooking and re-freezing phases.
Your cooked bolognese sauce would actually be fine for 3 to 6 months, depending on the container used, and how well it has been protected from freezer burn.

No bugs involved here,you cook when the beef has thawed,from then on it's a cooked dish & nothing more to do with the frozen beef,you wouldn't want to waste what is not eaten & freezing it for later is the right idea.

You are on the right track. Thaw in a microwave if you wish too. Make your sauce and freeze the leftovers. If you put the leftovers in a vacuum pack bak it will keep for up to 6 months.

As long as you cook the meat before you refreeze it will be fine. Sounds yummy too!

No, its safe, alot of ppl like to freeze things anymore cuz no one likes to eat right. But, yes that is completely safe to do.

That is definitely a safe and very economical thing to do. I do it myself all the time.

Nothing wrong with what you are doing. I have done it many times myself.
