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?
