I hope everything turned out with the steak. I have had vacuum packed ribeyes for about the past year and have had very good luck with them. They put a marinade in them for seasoning and I have left them in the microwave to thaw for a few hours. Most of the time I have just put them in the refrigerator and let them thaw, then I was worried about them if I left them in there a few days. I have had one I left in the refrigerator a week and it was fine. If it wasn't really warm in your kitchen and with the vacuum packing and if it was marinated like my ribeyes i probably would take a chance. If it smelled icky when you opened it i would not take a chance. I would be pretty sick if not because our ribeyes are about $4.67 a pound which is still expensive when you are on low income. Lora
