Been freezing meat a long time like you freezer burn is my “trump” hate it.

I wrap the meat with a good quality plastic wrap, I get the restaurant grade stuff at Costco.
Then put it in the...what we call “sucking bags”. As the air get eliminated the wrap squeezes down to seal the meat...no air can touch the meat...no freezer burn. I take the meat out of the “sucking bag” and stack in the freezer. We reuse the bags for years, the meat never touches the bag, eliminating quite a bit of contamination. Wash the bag in a light bleach solution if needed.

I have had a couple pieces of beef that got lost in the freezer...2 years later you would have thought I froze it yesterday.

Poor mans Food Saver.
