Is this actually fine to keep in the fridge for over a month?
Vacuum sealed from Costco.

No. Vacuumed packed meat can stay in the fridge 8 to 10 days. In the fridge some anaerobic bacteria can grow at 3*C (37*F) and higher and multiply to levels that can lead to illness.

Yeah, def consider this an error, a sell-by of Jul 23 would be more appropriate for this if just refrigerated. You might get lucky, but I wouldn’t risk it – freeze or cook it ASAP.

I wet age all the time. I get my cryovac pack cuts from Restaurant Depot and hold in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks depending on the pack dates etc. Been doing it for 10’years.

As a general rule here are some guidelines as to how long meat can last in a cryovac bag, under ideal refrigerated conditions: Beef – approx 4 weeks from date packed. Lamb – approx 14 days from date packed. Pork – approx 10 days from date packed.
When we have our cattle butchered, we let them hang for at least 28 days in a cooler.

45 days in the original bag is fine. Aged beef is more tender.
