  I assume it's vacuum sealed. pop open the package and it should get a nice cherry red color to it in about 10 minutes. if it does then it's good to cook/eat. if not i'd venture to say it's spoiled.
  
  also, if it smells bad i would chuck it. otherwise let it breath it'll come back.
• rydawg5

  It wasnt sealed.. i didnt notice it smelling weird though
• j_crazy

  

  let it air out. if it stays brown get rid of it. or cook the hell out of it.

  If it doesnt smell, cook it and eat it. If it tastes rank, pitch it.

  It will be fine, I usually leave mine uncovered in the fridge for a couple days to get kind of a "dry aging" affect when cooked.

  that's how they dry age meat. As long as it stayed under 40 degrees, should be fine and dryer, enhances the flavor.

  Alot of times it will do that if blood has managed to drain out of the meat. Doesn't mean it's bad.

  To answer your answer your original question, yes you can eat it. But what happens from there is anybody's guess.

  This, if I don't eat steak or ground beef within 2 days of buying it its either frozen or thrown out and I usually lean towards throwing it out.

  If it's dried out, you don't want to trim the brown off it, the dry outside will make a nice crust and it helps to hold in the juices and concentrate the flavor of the steak.

  Pound it... with a tenderizer or the heel of your hand...the steak.

  If it smells bad or spoiled, then eat it.

  Yeah, but they dry-age a sub-primal cut, not a single steak. Especially when you consider just how thin most steaks are cut for sale anyway....I never thought I'd have to specifically ask for something thicker than about 1".
