You won't die from eating it but will it be worth all your time,
effort, and added ingredients attempting to salvage a small
inexpensive piece of meat of which you will likely take one taste and
pitch anyway. I wouldn't even consider preparing that for dinner...
I'd defrost it, slice it into strips, and pitch it into my back yard
for the carrion eaters... a raucous murder of crows will dispatch it
expediciously and my cats will enjoy the show. That piece of meat
probably cost no more than $10, more than four years ago... you
already long ago lost out on your meat investment just on the loss of
your capital for all that time and whatever interest it may have
accrued (not even gonna mention all the money you wasted over 4 years
paying for energy keeping it frozen), why add insult to injury by
trying to cook it and stuff it down your maw without heaving it up.
Stocking up on perishable food is always a **** poor investment,
especially in the US.
