Question 1

Can you freeze beef stew?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Simply transfer the dish into an airtight container and freeze it for up to 3 months. Another great idea is to freeze it in individual freezer bags so you can reheat in single serving portions. When ready to eat, defrost overnight in the fridge then heat it up until warm.

Question 2

For the classic stew, it’s best to use chuck roast and cut it at home. We find this cut to work best for this recipe, as the meat is uniformly marbled. However, you could also use: Bone-in short rib Ribeye Bohemian Fatty brisket Oxtail Chuck steak Shoulder steak
