    How Long can I keep a rib roast in the Fridge?

    I bought a boneless rib roast Dec 21st because it was on sale before Christmas. I won't be cooking it until Jan 2nd. Is it okay to stay in it's store wrapping in the Fridge that long or should I freeze it?

    Is it a cryovac wrap? Or just plastic wrap and/or paper? No problem for the former, you'd be pushing it for the latter.

      In a styrofoam tray all wrapped in plastic.

    bep35, since it isn't cryovacd. freeze it.

      I'd freeze it after dry brining and pull it out of the freezer so that it can thaw, (some here would go from frozen), and then smoke it.

        I have done a brisket from frozen solid but would not recommend it for a rib roast as you are only partially cooking it. The outside would be overcooked before the inside thaws.

      Seven days is probably too long and you are talking almost twice that. Don't do it.

        Sounds like freeze it is the answer. I am going to expand this in another post with a new heading and ask the question can I sous-vide the roast, and finish if off with a sear later.
