Okay, I stand corrected.
RE: Freezing Meat - How Many Times Can You Freeze It?
By Jensen (Guest Post)
A quote from another article on the subject titled...
Is It Safe to Refreeze Raw Meat and Poultry that Has Thawed? by Alice
Henneman, MS, RD, UNL Extension in Lancaster County
The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) advises, "Meat and poultry defrosted
in the refrigerator may be refrozen before or after cooking. If thawed by
other
methods, cook before refreezing." (Basics for Handling Food Safely,
September 8, 2006).
(DO NOT thaw meat at room temperature, such as on the kitchen counter.)
Meat/poultry that is refrozen might suffer some quality loss as moisture may
be lost during thawing.
Safety will depend on whether the raw product was handled properly before it
was frozen, refrozen shortly after it was thawed, cooked to a safe
temperature
when it is eaten and handled safely if there are any leftovers.

No, you should never re-freeze meat.

Subject: [CnD] cuting and refreezing beef
Hello,
I have a friend that bought a large piece of beef. He wants to cut it
into small pieces for cooking but we want to know if we can unfreze it
to cut it and then refreze it again?
