How to Refrigerate Beef

Unwrap meat, put it in the special meat compartment in the refrigerator, or on a plate near the bottom of the refrigerator; cover loosely with waxed paper or foil.

Large pieces (roasts, pot roasts, etc.) may be kept for 5 to 8 days in the refrigerator; steaks for 3 to 5 days; stewing meats, liver, heart, etc., for 2 days; minced meat for 1 to 2 days.
