Beef roulade, a classic culinary delight featuring thinly sliced beef rolled around a savory filling, is best enjoyed fresh. Proper storage is key to preserving its delicious flavor and ensuring food safety for your family.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated cooked beef roulade at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze beef roulade, allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or place in a freezer-safe airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating gently on the stovetop or in the oven. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the roulade, but the flavor will remain excellent.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off-putting smell, distinct from its usual savory aroma.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the beef or filling.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
