Use of thawed Beef blood
I recently thawed a roast and put blood aside to use to add to gravy mix. Was this dangerous to do? It was brought to a boil.

You should be ok as long as it is properly cooked (boiled)
People will often (re)use juices from raw meat in sauces.
For example, you can use the leftover marinade as a base for a sauce.

What do you do with beef blood?
It sometimes is also called purge (blood appearing liquid in a meat package). It is safe to cook and eat this liquid with the rest of the ground beef. The amount of purge will depend on packaging type, as well as storage time and temperature, and method of defrosting for frozen meat.Can you use the blood from beef joint?
You can only use blood if you slaughter animals yourself and even then it has to be used immediately. The defrost juices are probably just dampness from the melting of the ice crystals mixed with the hemoglobin present in the muscles of the meat.Can you consume beef blood?
Blood is the most important byproduct of slaughtering. It consists predominantly of protein and water, and is sometimes called "liquid meat" because its composition is similar to that of lean meat. Blood collected hygienically can be used for human consumption, otherwise it is converted to blood meal.When we thaw meat or simmer it is the reddish liquid that comes out blood?
As meat ages and is handled or cut, proteins lose their ability to hold onto water. Over time, some water is released and myoglobin flows out with it, giving the liquid a red or pink color. When the water seeps out, the protein that gives meat its color (myoglobin) flows out with the water.The Best Way to Thaw Meat
