Serious question: does the quality of the meat diminish when frozen?

It will in time lose flavor, but beef can easily be kept for a year. Even it the flavor degrades some, cook it in a dish spices and sauces. I'd knock the steaks out first. That said, I came across a pack of steaks from 2019, but them into pieces and made a stew. Worked fine.
