Question 11

Tips for storing Beef Stir Fry to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store your beef stir fry in the refrigerator (at 4°C/40°F or below).

• If you plan on storing it longer, freeze it. But remember to split your stir fry into single serving portions before freezing to avoid thawing more than you need.

• Use air-tight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags to store your stir fry, which will prevent freezer burn.

• When heating your frozen stir fry, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator. For a quicker thawing method, you can use the defrost function on your microwave.

• Once defrosted, do not refreeze. The quality deteriorates with each freeze and thaw cycle.
