Just cut up a 5kg chunk of meat i bought. It was quite fatty, and a
pain to remove all the fat so i just cut it all up and shoved it in
the frezzer.
Just curious, is it ok to frezze fat, or can it ruin the meat and
still go bad?

Just remember a friend telling me he was making beef jerky, and said
its extremely important to get rid of all fat from meat if you want
to preserve it in any way? Is that just for beef jerky or it applies
to all meats?

Freezing is OK. Jerky relies on drying the meat and using salts.

Freezing should make it easier for you to remove the fat. Try getting at
it while it's still really, really cold.
