Cooked some roast beef yesterday and was slicing a little off it today when I noticed a dark patch on the cut surface and the slice.

I can't figure out what it is. Main thing: would it possibly be dangerous?

Dear abrogard,

Too long in the sun perhaps ? :smile:
Insufficiently large cooking container ?

I'm assuming the colour was evident directly after roasting.

Well, if you hv experienced no desires to run to the toilet within 12 hrs, probably safe from microbiological toxins.
Maybe another 2 days before can assume safe from attack by sporeable invasive bacteria. Viruses less sure.
If chemical hazard, it's anybody's guess I'm afraid.
Good luck, let us know how you get on. ;)

Could it be a bruise?

Another question: it was inside the piece, and was visible when you cut it, or it was on the surface of the piece? Looks like a bruise to me as well, but a bit dark.

Possibly due to an injection? Needles would cause deep tissue damage.
