FAQ's
How long can I keep Sirloin Steak in the freezer?
Sirloin Steak can last in the freezer for 6 to 12 months if stored properly at 0°F (-18°C) or lower.
Make sure it’s wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil and placed in an airtight freezer bag or container to prevent freezer burn.
For the best taste and texture, try to use it within the first 6 months, but it will remain safe to eat beyond that as long as it’s kept frozen continuously.
