What the Steak Looks Like
If the steak looks gray, like a cloudy sky on a rainy day, or has spots that look like muddy footprints, it might be going bad. It's like when your juice box gets all cloudy and you know not to drink from it anymore.
How the Steak Smells
If the steak starts to smell funny, like your brother’s socks after a long day at school, it probably isn’t good to eat. You can close your eyes and just sniff it like you’re solving a mystery!
What Happens When You Touch It
If the steak feels slimy or wet, like a wet sponge in the bathroom, that’s another sign it's not feeling well. You might even feel like you're touching something gross instead of your favorite dinner.
These clues help you know when to throw the steak away and pick a new one, just like knowing when to put on a clean shirt!
