I Froze RARE Steaks for 2 Years (and ate them)

If I see a good deal on steaks at the supermarket, I can’t help myself from making the purchase. The problem is that I’ve accumulated an absurd amount of meat and all the freezers at my house (and my parents house) are completely full…. After doing some digging in these freezers I came across the two steaks in this video, and it was time to put two year frozen steaks to the test. This was genuinely eye opening!

As someone who hunts and freezes deer, I can tell you that the freezer works magic. I’ve had 5+ year frozen steaks and tenderloin that tastes perfect if frozen properly

You clearly haven’t had 20, 000 year old mammoth.

You gotta give this guy props. He could’ve split this into 3 separate videos with click bait titles and they surely would of done well. But this guy puts out one well crafted, spectacularly shot video. Much respect going out to this guy!

Easily my favorite food youtuber/tiktoker; genuine, not arrogant, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and really fun editing/style!

It’s gonna be a good day when Max uploads a new video! I love watching you cook brother, your enthusiasm for what you do is intoxicating! Keep it up and have a great new year🎉

I have had venison get freezer burned. In the past we just threw it out, but a couple of years ago a chef/butcher I got to know told me that when that happens, unwrap the meat and then put it in a sink of cold water and let it thaw in there. It works, the meat rehydrated by being in the cold water while it thawed. It tasted delicious, just like fresh frozen meat.

My dad when he was in the USSR army in mid 80’S told that they ate frozen meat that was dated from 50’s. No vacuume, no bags, only wrapped in cheese cloth. He said nothing was wrong, it tasted a bit off, but he is alive and well

I really appreciated this video because I have a few meats that have been sitting in the freezer(poorly packed as well) and I'm a bit of a Nance when it comes to old stuff, but this gives me confidence. I mean I've definitely done it before but seeing someone make 2 year old steak and enjoy it is reaffirming. Damn smoke alarm

the cutting board cuts are so satisfying for no reason!

As a person that hunts and fishes, I have several freezers with meat in them. And some can get forgotten about. It happens. Certain meats last longer and taste fine when frozen for extended periods. Birds and fish do not. Also learned a lot over the years. Even the cheapest of food sealers will help you extend the life of the meat. If the seal isn't broken, it'll be fine even 3 or 4 years later. Broken seal, eat it as soon as possible. Will it kill you? No. That's the meat you throw into soups and chilis. Noone will know the difference. Lol.

wow, I really just can't explain in words how much I respect you. Your videos are always at the highest quality, the entertainment that comes from every single one never fails to impress. Keep up the great work, Max!

When i was in university (2006), I ate meats that were frozen for more than 20 years with proper seal. The meats were stored in bunker freezer since the late 70s / early 80s and people sort of forgot about them.

The beef and lamb were very pale and looked more like chicken. The colors were very pale pink (raw chicken meat color) to pretty much white (cooked chicken meat color).

Surprisingly, they were still edible. So dont worry eating frozen meat. You will be fine.

I buy beef from a local farmer, usually 1/4 or 1/2 steer. I found a 3 year old roast in the back of my freezer. It had no freezer burn, and tasted perfectly delicious. I am shocked that the freezer burn didn't compromise the taste or texture, but the time frozen seems completely normal to me.

I just ate a steak from an Antelope backstrap I killed 2 years ago. It was vacuum sealed and very fresh when frozen. I sous vide at 135 for 2.5 hrs then quick seared it in a cast iron and it was absolutely delicious! Nothing wrong with freezing meat for an extended period of time but 2 years is about my limit and if I know I have too much game to eat within 2 years I give it to friends/family.

[Kruegh]

I've only noticed freezer burn on roasts. Usually it results in a spot with a different texture, but taste wise it has never been off.

STARTED COATING STEAKS IN OLIVE OIL, AMAZING THE DIFFERENCE .. PULLED A 3YR OLD, FOR A FROZEN STEAK ... PERFECT!

[dylangrech]

Can you make a video on how to cook a medium rare steak with all the details like temp time seasoning etc. I’m trying to learn how to cook a really good steak and you seem like the perfect person to follow

[CoolJay]

Great video. Just recently I have grilled a quality Angus porterhouse that had been frozen for couple years tightly sealed in cryovac bag.. The tenderloin part tasted delicious but the strip loin part had sort of an off flavor, perhaps freeze burn flavor. My guess is that water particles crystallized differently in each of the muscles that created that effect.

I just liked the video for the fact that Max had another monster tomahawk steak in his house. It looked just as insane as the 1st time around.
