I have steaks in the freezer for a long long long time. Always frozen. Is it good to eat? (health wise I'll experiment taste wise )

What's the longest it can be on freezer

some people will tell you it's no good. Personally we have had this a few times and it may have been a bit freezer burned (depending on how it was packaged, but overall it was fine - enjoy Smile

My understanding is that freezing raw meat and poultry kind of "stops time". Meaning, if they are well packaged it doesn't matter how long they've been there. Good Luck, let us know how they taste!

I was told by a butcher that meat I had in my freezer for over a year was still good. He said if it stays frozen solid it stays good.

I think it will be good, health wise, but I don't know about taste.

If it was frozen solid and kept below 0 degrees Fahrenheit the whoe time it will be perfectly safe to eat. Flavor may or may not have deteriorated, and if the package wasn't wrapped well you may have dried-out portions (freezer burn) but it will still be safe.
