Yes, you can cook beef from a frozen state, but it requires adjustments to cooking times. It's important to ensure that the internal temperature reaches a safe level, typically 145°F (63°C) for steaks and roasts, and 160°F (71°C) for ground beef. Using methods like slow cooking or pressure cooking can be effective, but avoid cooking beef in an oven or grill from frozen, as it may cook unevenly. Always check with a meat thermometer to ensure safety.
