Question for the TWTD Hive mind.
Received food delivery last night and managed to leave a couple of vacuum-sealed steaks on the counter rather than in the fridge. Woke this morning to see them staring at me. They were on the countertop for less than 12 hours.
Now in the middle of a debate as to whether i should cook and eat them. I personally think they are fine; they were refrigerated in the delivery van before arriving, and the house was fairly chilly as it was overnight.
Quesiton is, would you eat them or just toss them / feed them to the dog? |  |

I understand your dilemma. I would eat them if they pass the sniff test.
My wife wouldn't - they'd be in the bin. |  |

Your wife wouldn't pass the sniff test?
I think they'd be fine but I wouldn't eat them rare. |  |

*PS Ryorry says vacuum packed in a cool kitchen for less than 12 hours they’ll be fine as long as they pass the sniff test, and she’s usually very cautious. |  |

They will be fine. You shouldn’t cook them straight from the fridge anyway . Plus they’re vacuum packed. Space is a vacuum and nothing would go off in space. |  | | |

I'm pretty sure as it's beef it is fine. Isn't it the case that any bacteria only grows on outside of beef? Or something like that? Meaning when cooked, it's fine..
*might have made this shiz up, but it's in my head somewhere. |  | | |

Can't see that any harmful bacteria would have grown in a vacuum. As with the other advice, if it smells fresh, it will be fine. If in doubt do not cook too rare. | | | |

If the packaging is intact and not swollen, I, personally, would treat them as normal. Especially if the steak is aged, as that dries it a bit and inhibits decay.
When I was young, we would get a Christmas turkey fresh off the farm and leave it hanging up in the garage for several days. Much like with game, it adds to the flavour and tenderness of the meat.
However, a lot comes down to how sensitive your stomach is - and how much you might be put off psychologically by knowing it had been out. Make sure it's cooked properly (not blue this time). |  |

I'd be happy with just shooing off the flies and giving it a quick look at the frying pan on both sides.
Serve with chips an mushrooms.

The dog says hello and happy that you are supporting him in this matter 😂 | |

Thanks all, good input
Conclusion is that i am going to cook both, and then see what happens. Won't know the smell until I open then, but my feeling is they are fine to eat.
I can see this plays out already, either I get two steaks this evening or the dog and me both gets one each 😂 | |

Depends on where you live and if you already have you heating on. My kitchen is currently probably as cold as the fridge so would have no issues eating. Also depends on what steak. If ribeye or fillet then no chance that would go in the bin. I’d take the potential food poisoning any day over the loss of one of those hunky lumps of meat. | | | |

Is your house super hot ? We don’t have the heating on yet and kitchen probably 14-15 deg so pretty cool, I would be fine with that |  |
