How long will steak tartare keep in fridge?
Steak tartare should only be prepped right before eating and isn't really designed to be made ahead. Leftover steak tartare isn't in anyone's best interest.

Another recipe said to grind the meat no more that two hours ahead and -of course - to keep it refrigerated.

How long can you keep open fresh milk in the refrigerator after due date?
Milk is sold (if properly handled in the store) with an expected shelf life of five to seven days after the expiration date. The expiration date is for the store, not for you the consumer. That seven days is dependent on your fridge being good and cold (38 degrees Fahrenheit or colder). The colder your fridge is the longer it will keep. Signs that the milk is past it's prime include curdling in warm liquids, off odors and in the extreme - clumping.
Give it a sniff and if in doubt, throw it out!
How long will ham juicestock last in the refrigerator?
There are too many variables to give a truly accurate answer. The actual length of time depends on how the ham was processed, temperature abuse in distribution and by the consumer, sliced or unsliced, the microbiological condition when refrigerated, packaging and the temperature settings of the refrigerator.
If all the conditions are good, you could expect it to last 3-5 days.

How long does meat stay good after it is defrosted?
When determining how long thawed food will be good, you have to remember that decomposition will pick up from where it left off when the food was frozen. How long it took to freeze will have a bearing on it, too.
If the ground beef was 3 days old when frozen, you might try cooking it from frozen. If it was freshly ground when frozen, the thawed meat will likely be good for 2 days.
Once thawed, the ground meat should be used within a day or two. Ground meat spoils quickly since grinding the meat mixes bacteria throughout.
