Beef past the sell-by date

I had purchased a chuck roast in order to make beef and broccoli, but I haven't had a chance to cook until tonight. I just put it in the freezer (so it will be easier to thinly slice) and noticed that the sell-by date is January 20. Should I still cook it tonight? Will we die?

Sale by and use by aren't the same thing and it's beef. I'd have no problem using it if it doesn't have an off smell or other obvious malformation

smell will tell you everything about raw meat.

If it doesn't smell like its spoiling and color is still good, beef is okay past the sell-by

I didn't open the package but there was no noticeable odor...a tiny bit of grayness but it doesn't look too bad. I guess I could crack it open and give it a sniff.
I could always stop at the store on the way home from work, but I walk and the weather sucks so I'm trying to avoid making a detour.

Beef starts to gray on the outside if it stays in the package for a few days due to lack of oxygen. If its not widespread/gray inside the meat, its perfectly fine

It is the oxygen that makes it turn red when it is cut and then it grays. When you cut into meat, it turns red due to the new influx of oxygen.
If the meat isn't smelly and slimy, eat it, it is fine.

Reddish meat that smells like meat is good. A bit of gray or browning on the exterior surface is normal as proteins in the meat react with oxygen.
Green fuzzy meat that smells like CAD's steaks is bad.
Let your nose guide you here and you'll be fine.

Eat it and report back if all works out for you and the family.
Seriously, if it has been refrigerated and doesn't smell, it is probably ok.
Did you know chili was invented to use meat that had gone bad. Resulting in the common saying, "I'd die for a good bowl of chili."
