how long does steak last in the fridge?

tomatoey

3-5 days, apparently. BUT - what about aged steak, people age steaks, right?

Maybe I can get away with it. I think it's 6 or 7 days old... (wrapped in paper and then in plastic tupperware).

Ah, I chucked the steak and bought more, but that is a good idea for next time. Though hopefully, I'll either eat it or remember to freeze it.

I hate freezing stuff because once you defrost it that's definitely a commitment for dinner, and I'm likely to change my mind. Or if you don't decide you want it until later, you have to defrost it quickly and that never tastes right. I think basically I'm stuck shopping every 2 days.
