To store your Old Fashioned Beef Stew, follow these steps:

  1. Cool Down: Allow the stew to cool to room temperature. This helps prevent condensation and keeps the stew from becoming watery.

  1. Container: Transfer the stew into airtight containers. You can use glass or plastic containers, but make sure they are suitable for freezing if you plan to store it for a longer time.

  1. Portioning: If you want to store it in portions, divide the stew into individual servings. This makes it easier to reheat later.

  1. Refrigeration: Store the stew in the refrigerator if you plan to eat it within 3-4 days.
