Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation locker beef with a strong smell

Just got a local side of beef. Split a half with my neighbor and this stuff has a strong smell/taste when unthawed.
When you un-wrap the meat it's setting in blood. Obviously NOT taken care of properly.

It was processed at a local meat packing plant.

Any suggestions on how to get the strong smell out ? Soak/brine?

Thanks! Virgil B.
