Picked up 3 - 3+ lb. CAB chuck roasts today for $3.99 / lb. 😀
The sell by date on them is 11-20 (Monday).
I’m going to smoke them up and shred them and serve them Saturday 11-25 for the Ohio State Michigan game for me and about 10 or so coworkers.
I plan on warming the beef in a crockpot with some French onion soup. 🤤
The only two days I could smoke these chuck roasts are Monday 11-20 or Friday 11-24.
My questions are:
Would it be OK to wait until Friday to smoke this meat if I leave it in my fridge until then? It’s just wrapped in the standard grocery store tray and plastic wrap.
If Not and I smoke it on Monday 11-20 I’ll then vacuum seal the shredded beef.
Would it be safe to keep the cooked, shredded, vacuum sealed beef in the fridge until Saturday or should I put the packages of beef in the freezer until Friday?
Any options and insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
