I marinated a steak last night forgot to put it in the fridge until today. is it safe to still cook & eat?
I marinated in wine, lemon, worcestshire, salt and sugar. will the ingrediants prevent bacteria from growing? also, if i bring the meat to a safe temperature while cooking, is it still safe to eat. or should i trash it.
Answers:
NO, don't eat it! It could give you food poisoning.
This is from a safe food handling website:
"Perishable food must be kept cold or frozen at the store and at home. In between, the food should be at room temperature or in the car as little time as possible. Then it must be kept cold or cooked and chilled. Food should not be out of the refrigerator or oven longer than 2 hours."
The good thing is, now that you've done this once, you proabably won't forget again. Maybe go out to eat instead?
