Storing, Thawing and Refreezing Tips
Elite Steaks ‘N’ Chops products are flash frozen at the peak of flavor. Our natural aging process imparts a distinct flavor and tenderness to our beef and pork. Here are some tips on how to care for your Elite Steaks ‘N’ Chops product.
Storing
All Elite Steaks ‘N’ Chops are vacuum sealed in plastic wrap. This special packaging keeps meat fresh and flavorful up to nine months in a freezing compartment that’s working properly.
Thawing
For quick, safe thawing….thaw steaks and chops in cold water while still in their wrapper. For example, Filet Mignons will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to thaw and the Boneless Pork Chops will take about 30 minutes to thaw.
Refreezing
Meat that is at refrigerated temperatures (36 to 40 degrees) can be refrozen. Refreeze defrosted meat within 1-2 days of holding at refrigerated temperatures. Do not refreeze defrosted meat that is held at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If the vacuum wrap has been removed, rewrap the steaks or chops in a wrapper suitable for frozen product.
