Hi all. I'm trying to figure out something that happened to me last night. I came home from work, ready to cook a dinner I'd been planning. I asked my boyfriend to pick up some steak, which he did, and he had been home about an hour earlier than me. Anyway, when I started to cook, I took a look at the piece of steak he bought, and I immediately rejected it, as it had large green splotches all over it, and it looked like it had a translucent film on the top in some places. I was very upset because it was too late to go out and buy more. It smelled like nothing, meaning, it didn't smell like fresh meat, nor did it smell bad. I had to ditch my whole dinner plan and order some burgers.
My boyfriend wasn't sure, but he said he thought that the meat might be alright and that it might have just been discolored in the fridge. I wasn't going to risk getting food poisoning, however.
So can anybody tell me, did I do the right thing or did I waste a perfectly good piece of steak?
