Beef Dinners in 30 Minutes

How to Buy Fresh Meat

  • Choose wrapped packages without any tears, holes or leaks. There should be little or no liquid in the bottom of the tray.
  • Make sure the package is cold and feels firm. Avoid packages that are stacked too high in the meat case because they may not have been kept cold enough.
  • Check the sell-by date and use within 2 days.
  • Put packages of meat in plastic bags before putting them in your grocery cart so bacteria in the juices don’t contaminate other foods.
  • Don’t buy or use meat that has turned gray, has an off odor or feels slimy.
  • Refrigerate meat as soon as you get home from shopping. If it will take longer than 30 minutes to get it home, keep it cold in a cooler with ice packs.
