Can you re-freeze a large piece of steak if it has been marinating and refrigerated for the last 24 hours?

Answer 1

The biggest reason not to is that the texture will go - the meat will end up either crumbly or mushy. From a health standpoint, if you've been practicing sanitary food handling practices, you're probably ok, but I'd defrost it and eat it within the next few weeks anyhow - it's already had some exposure to spoilage just be being around for awhile, being handled, marinating.

But yeah, you might be better off cooking it at least part way and tossing it well wrapped into the back/bottom of your fridge and reheating it in the next few days.

Answer 2

GRILLED YELLOW FIN TUNA STEAK 1 each tuna steak per person 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/2 c. Tamarri wheat free 1 tsp. black pepper 1 stick melted butter Clean tuna steak with salt water and vinegar. Mix garlic, tamarri, butter, and pepper to make marinate. Marinate at least 1 hour. Put steaks on hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until steaks start to flake. As steaks are cooking pour a little marinate on them. Do not over cook.

Answer 3

No, the only way that you can re-freeze it, would be to cook it and then freeze. I guess this defeats the object of a fresh cooked steak however.

Answer 4

If it was previously frozen I wouldn't...However, if it's a fresh piece of meat you can freeze it with the marinade in a freezer ziplock bag and it will keep for awhile.... I marinate most of my meats and freeze them, it keeps away freezer burn and I don't have to wait to marinade it's done when the meat defrosts

Answer 5

No, you can not refreeze a steak that has been marinating in the refrigerator.

Answer 6

Was it thawed then marinated? Is so,eat it now.But if you brought it home then put the marinate on it and set it in the fridge,go ahead and freeze it.....

Answer 7

No cook it and save it for later.

Answer 8

If it has already been frozen once, I wouldn't refreeze it.

Answer 9

Not a good idea.
