📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare your beef stew using your favorite recipe.
2
Leave the cooked beef stew on your kitchen counter until it’s cool enough for the fridge. Keep it in the refrigerator until it’s thoroughly chilled.
3
Prepare airtight containers or foil trays with tight lids ensuring they’re lined up and open, ready for the stew.
4
If you have a kitchen scale, weigh out individual portions of the beef stew and place them in the containers. Remember that the stew will expand when it freezes, so leave around half an inch from the top of the lid to accommodate this.
5
Label the containers with the portion size, what it contains, and the date.
6
Freeze for two to three hours, keeping the containers level to avoid leakage.
