Safe to preseason steaks?

Brittany_688879

I bought a couple steaks yesterday and sealed them up with the garlic and thyme I intended to later sous-vide them with and then refrigerated it. It only occured to me now that vacuum sealing garlic was not a good idea. How safe is my food? Can I still eat it if I cook it soon?

I vacuum seal garlic all the time. It's about how you treat it after you seal it. Unless you see some significant swelling in the bag, really unpleasant off odors, you're fine.
