6 years in an apparently relatively dry environment is hardly enough time for appreciable decay to occur. There are several reasons why the Atacama and Egyptian mummies can survive 1000s of years in the condition they do, and lack of moisture is one of the primary ones. My grandmother pressed flowers in books sometime in the 1940s. We discovered them a couple of years ago when we cleared out her house; they still had most of their original colour and were in remarkable condition.

I must just lack the taste receptors necessary for enjoying un-marinated beef, because I have literally never had a steak that tasted better, or even just different to any random grocery store slab cooked on a frying pan.

Literally the only time I'd ever choose steak over other options is if those other options were dry-ass chicken breast or even drier-ass turkey.
