Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: wrote I have a freezer that lost power and 6 ribeye steaks thawed. Can I refreeze them Yep. They'll be fine. He got three answers like that already, senile Rodent! Just what in hell makes you believe anyone's answer will only be valid when YOU confirm it, you self-opinionated, self-important, 85-year-old, senile pest? -- addressing nym-shifting senile Rodent: "You on the other hand are a heavyweight bull****ter who demonstrates your particular prowess at it every day."

You can, but depending on how much they thawed you will loose some quality. The first freeze caused some rupture of cells and loss of the juices, the second can be worse. I'd consider cooking them in the next day or two or grinding them and make a meatloaf. This is the best answer. Freezing the meat a second time will likely further damage. The ice crystals will be bigger. imo |
