Prime rib smell
Posted on 1/12/25 at 1:07 pm

Got a frozen prime rib from a farm not too far away. First thing I noticed was a different smell to it. I wouldn’t call it a “bad” or “putrid” smell, just an odor I’m not used to with meats. I thawed it in the fridge and then brined it. Still has the smell. Gonna sear it and finish it soon and I guess try it. Anyone have any experience with this smell I’m smelling?

Beef smells, especially beef blood. Food lets you know when it’s bad when it smells bad. Are you smelling that normal beef smell or are you smelling bacterial growth? We can’t answer.

I can’t really answer either tbh. I’ve cooked a few prime ribs in the past and none had this smell. I would be very surprised if this company packaged and froze a bad piece of meat but I suppose stranger things have happened

Was is stored in vacuum sealed plastic? Wet-aged beef can have a different smell to it.

The meat wouldn’t have been bad when processed and packaged from a processor. It would have “turned” between there and your freezer.

Cooked and tried it. The smell is in the taste just a bit and I’m gonna toss it. Shame.

Yep. I'm not a fan of grass fed beef, but grass fee/grain finished is a big yep.

I don't know why people are downvoting you. I agree that raw beef has an awful smell. To me, anyways.
I will say the same for flounder. It's like a urine smell, like ammonia, cat piss, very offputting. But once cooked, chef's kiss. It one of my favorite fish to eat.

Some posters think it’s funny to downvote no matter the post. Lots of downvotes but never any discussion explaining a different opinion. It’s telling.

Cut a small piece off and cook it, see if it has a foul taste…

The people downvoting are the ones posting on the fast food threads like they are Alton Brown....

None are needed when it's a 6thAndBaloney post. Your name as the author is explanation enough.

I will agree with you on beef, especially grass fed beef.
But flounder? To me smells like absolutely nothing, possibly the cleanest smelling fish.

Lol! You talk shite but can't even explain why. Bless your heart.

I've heard that from others as well, must be some compound that only some people can smell. It's completely absent after being cooked though, and flounder is still one of my favorite fish. In fact, it's my favorite inshore fish and it's all I target now when I get a few opportunities a year to get to the coast.

I wonder if those saying flounder has that pneumonia smell are talking about flounder fillets purchased at a grocery store.
I’ve never noticed that smell in flounder I’ve caught and cleaned.
