How to store meat for a long period

According to Nebraska Star Beef, one could store their meat by simply using a vacuum sealer, mainly if the meat will be frozen when packaging leftover beef.

Butcher paper works well for short-term storage in the refrigerator; you can also use a Ziploc bag to keep the meat tightly wrapped. If you plan to freeze the meat, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a Ziploc bag.
