Expiration & Storage Tips
When does London Broil Dish expire?
When stored in the refrigerator, a freshly cooked London Broil Dish can stay good for 3-4 days. If not consumed during this time, freezing is another great option. You can freeze the London Broil Dish for up to 3 months. As for store-bought, pre-cooked London broil, it generally comes with a 'use-by' date which should be strictly followed. After opening, it should ideally be consumed within 2-3 days and always stored in a refrigerator.
How do you tell if London Broil Dish is bad?
Bad meat has a distinct, sour smell so always use your nose. If your London Broil Dish smells a bit off, it's likely starting to spoil. Color changes are another big sign. If your dish looks grayish-brown instead of red or brown, it may have gone bad. Lastly, check for a slimy or sticky texture. Good meat is moist but not slimy. If you're seeing any of these signs, it's safer to dispose of the dish.
Tips for storing London Broil Dish to extend shelf life
• Always refrigerate the London Broil Dish within two hours of cooking. Rapid cooling helps slow down bacterial growth.
• Try to store your London Broil Dish in a tightly sealed container or wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. This not only protects the dish from any bacteria but also prevents it from drying out.
• If freezing, slice the meat up into portions before storing. This way, you only defrost what you need which reduces the waste and keeps the rest of your London broil fresh for longer.
• Thaw frozen London Broil Dish in the refrigerator overnight. Never thaw it on the kitchen counter as it may cause the meat to enter the danger zone (between 40°F and 140°F) where bacteria multiply rapidly.
