Thought this could be a good place to throw this question out...
A local supermarket chain (with a real butcher shop) was running a special - 13.99 /lb for prime grade rib roast or rib steaks. Today is Sat - I bought a gorgeous 4-bone roast, but plan on cooking it on Friday. Do you think it will be good staying in the refrigerator for 5-6 days? I had assumed yes, but as I was leaving I wanted to confirm with the butcher, and said no no - 3 days max. Now I'm worried that the meat will spoil in this time.
Should I unwrap it and leave it open in the fridge for the last 3 days? Or is it better to just leave it as is? The butcher suggested freezing it, but I feel that will change the texture of the meat, and it seems crazy to freeze it for 2-3 days, and then let it defrost for another 2-3 days.
What should I do??
Thanks!
