This is half a london broil that I'd food savered and froze 7 months ago. I defrosted it in the fridge, marinated it 24h, then smoked it last night (to 140F IT).
Is this a combination of smoke ring and freezer burn?

I'll be honest... it doesn't look all that appetizing but, I agree with @Charlesmaneri; try it and see.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

No, and if I liked the dog he would not get any.
Now my neighbor's dog? Yes, the whole thing.

I did one a several months ago... cooked the whole thing and food saved & froze half. Thawed the half months later in some simmering water in the food save bag. Tasted even better than the first half

Just double checking- was it cooked when you food saved and froze, or raw?If it was raw, then I would say it is fine. If it was cooked (twice) then it is more iffy.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Frozen food can dry out but I have no experience with Foodsaver bags, as 7 months seems pretty short.I wonder if the edges slightly desiccated which allowed for better uptake of marinade between the muscle fibers. What was in your marinade?
-
Marinade was Ken's Italian salad dressing (basically oil and vinegar). I taste tested one slice and it was fine. I sliced about half of it, added some BBQ sauce, microwaved it to warm it up (it's been in the fridge overnight since I smoked it last night), and made a nice sandwich with it.
I'll let you know tomorrow if it killed me.

The nose knows - how was the smell? Looks like most stuff that comes off the mystery meat shelf in my freezer. It was a combination of freezing then marinating I'm thinking. Looks fine, but then I have no standards.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I would definitely eat it.

It's your marinade drawing in. It would continue through the frozen period as long as it's there.

I would eat it. Even if it is freezer-burned, its not toxic. Go for it!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I'd eat it, you can slice it thin and cook it in some Au Jus and make French Dips.

Seriously, the marinade cooked it. Think ceviche

The smell when I opened the food saver bag it had been in since August was odd. Not a rotten smell, but not a normal fresh meat smell. The color was kind of more grey than red too. I was tempted to toss it in the trash right then, but figured I may as well cook it and see...can always throw it out later.
I didn't realize an oil and vinegar dressing would be acidic enough to cook it ceviche style. I've eat fish done that way...but someone else prepared that.
I finished it today for lunch, BBQ sandwich again. It was actually really good.
I forgot to mention, after it defrosted, I jaccarded it before putting it in a ziplock with the Ken's Italian to marinate for 24h.
It was amazingly tender, especially considering it was London broil.

It was the vinegar that cooked it. The stabbing you gave it with the jaccard allowed the vinegar to really get in there.They/Them
