Additional recipe notes

Fridge: Store leftover beef stew in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Freezer: Place it in a freezer safe container with about 1” of head space for expansion. It will keep for up to four months in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. Reheat beef stew on the stovetop until hot through or in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between.

Storage & reheating safety

For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
