Freezing
To freeze beef and broccoli, allow the dish to cool completely. Portion it into airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly on the stovetop or in the oven. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the broccoli, making it softer upon reheating.
Signs of Spoilage

- Slimy or sticky texture on the beef or broccoli.
- Visible mold growth or discoloration, especially on the beef.
