Beef stew tastes even better the next day. Cool completely, then refrigerate overnight before reheating. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of beef stock if the stew thickens too much. Freeze for up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Beef chuck gives the best flavor and tenderness for stovetop stew. Try to avoid packages labeled 'stew meat,' which are usually a mix of different cuts and do not break down as evenly during cooking.
