Pulled a tri-tri out of the freezer to thaw in fridge. Noticed it was still solid around 9:00. So I laid it out while I was getting my butts ready for overnight smoke. Well I fergot to put it back in fridge. It's still vac sealed. Is is safe to go ahead and cook?
 
I would cook it. I would give it the sniff test if it passes then I would rinse in cold water Pat dry season and roll with it. Any bacteria would be on surface not inside. Also it stayed cold a lot of the night being partially frozen. Honestly I wouldn’t even think about it and just cook it. That’s just me.

I leave beef on the counter for hours until it gets to room temp all the time.
So I would have absolutely zero problems at all eating that T.T.
