How long can flanken cut beef ribs "age" in the fridge?
I got some flanken ribs recently from the use em or lose em bin at the grocery store. They went into the freezer and I thawed them in the fridge but haven't gotten around to using them. The areas exposed to oxygen have turned grey, but I gave them a good look over. No slime whatsoever. They smelled of old beef, but not like low tide or anything rancid. More of a rich flavor.

As a single man I would often cook questionable food. My "stomach of steel" can handle some gnarly stuff before problems arise. However, now that I’m married with children raw meat doesn’t stay around long - a few days at most. If I don’t have time to cook something the way I’d prefer (grilled or smoked) it goes in the crockpot. I’d rather have an unplanned stew than throw out meat...or have a sick family.
