I’m wondering if this inside round roast is safe to use/eat or if I have ruined it, I've had it in my freezer since December 2022, got it from a local farm. Has been frozen the entire time.
It was only in butchers paper so not a proper airtight freeze, hence the frost
I'm going to let it defrost in the fridge for 1-2 days but I’m curious what everyone thinks about the quality.
Also regarding the pictures the brown area is a bit soft. Not sure what happened there.

Eat it and let us know what happens. If we don’t hear from you then we’ll have an answer for you
The nose knows. When it thaws I’d give it the old smell test. If it passed the smell test I’d cook a small piece of it and try it. If they tasted proper I’d go for it.
Looks freezer burned. That doesn’t make it unsafe, just doesn’t taste great. Thaw it out, and if it smells OK, I’d run with it
Cube it and make stew or chili. No reason to waste it.
i mean, i’d heat it up first, but yeah.
Ron hall! The best around
Can’t see why not, but if personally defrost and cook it first. Looks a little tough as is.
Defrost it and cook it
Only if you’re starving. I’d throw that out personally but it probably wouldn’t kill you, maybe.
What do you think..?
Freezer burnt. Id recommend a braise if you don’t know end up tossing it
Should be fine. Just trim off the freezer burn once it’s defrosted.
thats my favorite cut to make jerky on my smoker
I wouldn’t cook it whole as it’s probably pretty tough. As another comment said, defrost it then cube it or slice it. It works work great in a stew or as sliders or something.
