Am I dealing with meat that's spoiling? If so, can I just trim off the bad portion and cook the rest like normal?

Or, is it fine to go ahead and cook the way it is without trimming? It's not like it had a rainbow going on.
Actually you can let them get a little browner and they will be better. Don't trim a thing. I spent 20 years in the grocery business, just to give you an idea of my credentials. As the son of the owners, I have ate a lot of brown steaks.
