Can beef thawed and seared be refrozen?

It is not recommended to refreeze thawed and seared beef. When meat is thawed and cooked, it undergoes changes in its structure and composition that make it more susceptible to bacterial growth. Refrozen meat can also lose its flavor and texture, making it less enjoyable to eat.

If you have thawed and seared beef that you do not plan to eat immediately, it is best to store it in the refrigerator and consume it within a few days. Alternatively, you can freeze the cooked beef for later use, but it is important to note that the quality may be compromised.
