Storage Tips
Beef stew can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors often meld and improve the next day. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. You may need to add a small amount of broth or water when reheating if the stew has thickened significantly.
