 | | In the U.S. the USDA grades beef according to proportion of beef to bone, beef to fat and quality. |
 | | How to store: Unless the meat will be cooked within 6 hours, remove it from the plastic packaging, and store in the coldest part of the refrigerator loosely wrapped in waxed paper, to keep the surface dry and allow air flow, which prevents bacterial growth. |
 | | Ground beef will keep for 2 days this way, or 3 months in the freezer; solid cuts for 3 days or 6 months in the freezer. |
