I live by these rules and they have served me well.
Select beef with a bright, cherry-red color.
The exception is vacuum-packaged beef. Beef that is vacuum-packaged
appears a dark, purplish-color because all the air has been removed from
the package. When the package is opened and the product is exposed to
air, the beef will turn a bright red color. This also explains why the
center
of raw ground beef is sometimes darker than the outside.
The outside is exposed to air while the inside is starved for it.
Look for beef that is firm to the touch, not soft.
Make sure the package is cold and has no tears or rips
Choose packages without excessive liquid.
For highest quality, purchase beef before the sell-by date.
