Putting meat through a cook-freeze-thaw-reheat-refreeze cycle isn't generally going to result in a quality product and could present some food safety issues.
The only situation where this might work might be with cooked ground beef used in a sauce or chili - if all sanitation precautions are followed.

∙ 14y agoIf the meat reached room temperature or close to it, I wouldn't recommend it. The bacteria in meat that are cause for concern are toxic in and of themselves. This means that even though you cooked the meat and killed the bacteria, all their little poison bits are still in the meat.
If the meat just thawed in the fridge, I'm pretty sure that's okay.
