How long do steaks last in the refrigerator?

October 9, 2008  

This question is a very common Google search on our site , so, I thought I would provide what the USDA recommends for storage in the refrigerator & freezer.  First, you need to find a “use by” or “sell by” date on your meat package.  The product should be cooked or put in the freezer by that date.

General Storage Guidelins in regards to Steaks—-  Refrigerator Storage (40 F) 3-5 days/               Freezer Storage (0 F) 6- 12 months

The complete chart for Home Storage of Beef Products can be found at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Beef_from_Farm_to_Table/index.asp
