If it wasn't I would have been dead a long time ago. however to be on the safe side make sure you reheat it well when you eat it later.
Another perspective . . .No food safety person would tell you it is safe to use. Leaving meat out overnight (unless where it was left was as cold as a fridge) would permit growth of any pathogens that might be present. Particularly when cooked, the more harmless natural microorganisms population would have been reduced, eliminating competition for the pathogens.Freezing will not kill off the pathogens (or other microbes) and will not eliminate any toxins they might have formed. And some toxins, like that formed by Staphylococcus aureus, are not destroyed by heating.
Illness is not guaranteed. Using the meat might not make you sick, but you won't be happy if you pull the short straw.
So, using the roast beef is up to you, but a food safety person would tell you to discard it.
