When freshly cut beef is red in color. Fresh meat that sits for a while turns brown in color. That's still safe to eat, as long as it doesn't smell. Cooked meat turn brown due to oxidation.

I used to buy meat and freeze them, then thaw, and cook... But now I just buy fresh from the butcher and cook it. I think the Fridge is overrated...
