I had the meat shipped to my office. Will it be ok in the shipping box until I get home?
Yes, but we suggest that you keep it in the fridge/freezer at work.
Should I freeze my meat when I receive it?
Most of our meat is already frozen, however if it is chilled we believe it is better to keep it chilled, and you can do so for up to 7 days. That said, if you must freeze your meat, leave it in its packaging, or portion and wrap individual steak in Zip Lock bags and store it in your freezer at -18 C.
How long will the meat last in my freezer?
our order from Steak King is packaged in vacuum-sealed material so it can be transported safely. The temperature in your freezer should be -18 C or below. Kept in this packaging and in this temperature range, beef will keep for 8-12 months. Lamb and veal should be used within 6-8 months. Pork should be used within 5-6 months and seafood within 8-12 months
If I put my meat in the freezer when I received it. How should I defrost it?
For best results you should defrost the meat slowly in your refrigerator overnight in original vacuum packaging. Large pieces may take 48 hours to defrost fully. You can also defrost in the slightly warmer vegetable compartment of your fridge (if you have one).
My package arrived late. Is the meat safe to eat?
Our products are delivered in our own refrigerated vehicles, if we need to leave outside your door our packaging is designed to last 4 hours at room temperature. If it is cool to the touch when it arrives it is safe to eat.
Why are my selections brown when I open the box? Is this normal?
Yes, brown coloration is normal on vacuum-sealed meat which it has not been exposed to any oxygen during transit. Within 10 to 15 minutes of opening the vacuum-sealed packaging, the meat will “bloom,” turning red as it is exposed to the oxygen in the air.
I noticed a peculiar odor when I opened my vacuum-sealed meat. Is this normal, and is it safe to eat?
Yes, vacuum packed meat has a musky odor when first opened. As long as your meat is cool to the touch when it arrives, it is safe to eat.
