A lot of you will disagree but, your beef wasn't spoiled. The smell is anaerobic rot. The only bacteria that can grow in a hermetic environment are anaerobic bacteria. I wouldn't have throw it out unless it was turning green. The liquid in the plastic is the probable culprit. It's referred to as purge and is an indication that the meat has been wet-aged. The longer the beef is in its sealed environment, the more liquid (hemoglobin) will purge out. Just rinse it well, trim, and cook.

Well you are correct that it has the smell. If you buy a boneless cryovac leg of lamb it specifically says on the package that it will smell but the smell will go away within 10 seconds. It is the same with pork. I've bought them and it does indeed go away within seconds.
However I did buy a pork butt from Rouses not long ago and had the butcher take the bone out. It smelled bad when he rewrapped it, but I took it anyway, opened at the house and drove back to get a refund. The BR manager told me they were having problems with the pork purveyor. Seems like they still are.
Open the package over the sink and rinse the meat with cool water and rinse the package as well. If the smell isn't gone within 20-30 seconds or so I would bring it back.
Oddly I've never experienced it with beef.
