I left out my mom's organic ground beef overnight by mistake. It was completely defrosted when it went back into the fridge, and probably had been for a few hours. Is it okay to eat? If so, how should it be cooked?

It is not safe to thaw meat on the countertop at room temperature as this allows dangerous bacteria to grow in just two hours, or 1 hour in high summer heat (90°F and above).Partial cooking of food ahead of time allows harmful bacteria to survive and multiply to the point that subsequent cooking cannot destroy them. To keep bacterial levels low, store ground beef at 40 °F or less and use within 2 days, or freeze. To destroy harmful bacteria, cook ground beef to 160 °F and 165 when reheating leftovers., and when reheating ground beef 165.
