If I am to, once a week, grill enough steak and chicken to last me
until the next, what will be best? To freeze it after grilling, or to
refrigerate it? I am concerned more with taste than safety, though if
I can, I would like to avoid dying.

Thanks,

If your refrigerator is good and holds a minimum temp. of 40 degrees or
less, you can just refrigerate it. :-) I often cook enough food during
the week to last 3 to 5 days and I'm still here! Best used within 5 days
tho' imho.

I don't like to freeze cooked food. I've personally found that frozen
cooked meat freezer burn quickly, or just tastes "funky". Smoked meats
seem to freeze better. Are you wood/charcoal or gas grilling? That seems
to make a difference.

But, this is just my personal experience. :-) Others many have differing
opinions.

Well, you can't avoid dying but you can postpone it for a while <g>!

Assuming your fridge is at the proper temp, a week is no problem in either
case. I think it will give you better taste than freezing.

I think you're OK for a week, but you might consider a vacuum sealer - it
will extend shelf life in the 'fridge or freezer and make things easy to
reheat with minimum loss of flavor/texture (drop the bag in hot water, or
cut a small hole and microwave).

I grilled it all just now, and not a very good taste even right off
the grill. I'm in for a torturous week. But the refrigerator it is;
and I turned it on the coldest setting.

Thanks Peter and Katra.
