Now that being said is all of this IN MY HEAD or is there really a difference in taste when freezing....OR...maybe I am not storing / freezing my steaks correctly.
Is there a better method to freezing meat that helps it keep its fresh flavor?
Thanks
Air causes freezer burn. The best way to prevent this is to freeze your meat with a vacuum sealer, such as the Foodsaver brand. There are others, but Foodsaver is the most popular. I have grilled steaks that were vacuum sealed and frozen for three years
and they tasted just as good as the day I cut them!
The only drawback to freezing meat, in my opinion, is thawing the meat improperly, which allows the meat to lose moisture. I usually defrost the steak, depending on it's size, about 30-45 minutes before cooking it. I place the vacuum sealed steak into a container of ice water, changing the ice out a couple of times, if needed.
