Making Your Stew

I can walk you through the steps for achieving perfectly tender meat and vegetables in a flavorful broth.

Making it Last

The flavors get even better after a day or two in the fridge where it keeps well for up to 4 days. For longer storage pop it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When reheating just add a splash of broth if needed to thin the sauce.
