Reply To: London Broil

Is it normal for the raw London broil cut to have brown spots on the surface?

The sell-by date is February 12, 2018.

I just put it in the marinade to soak in a ziploc bag, and am not sure whether the meat is spoiled or not (based on the color).

Maybe this is just how kosher steaks look? It’s my first time buying a steak since I started eating meat again. I bought a brisket before, which was red, and also ground beef, also red.

Though, I know that butchers often add coloring or some sort of gas to the meat to give it an artificially red look. Thus, maybe these brown spots are normal?

The meat did not smell spoiled.

Would you keep it and cook it?

Thank you.
