Enjoy delicious steak fajitas for longer by understanding proper storage. This guide ensures your seasoned steak, peppers, and onions remain flavorful and safe to eat, minimizing food waste and maximizing enjoyment.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for best quality.
Temperature
Store refrigerated steak fajitas at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
To freeze steak fajitas, cool them completely and portion into airtight containers or freezer bags. For optimal quality, consider freezing the cooked steak and vegetable mixture separately from any tortillas or toppings. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results, or use the defrost setting on your microwave. While freezing is possible, the texture of the vegetables may soften slightly upon thawing.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off odor emanating from the mixture.
- Slimy or sticky texture on the steak or vegetables.
- Visible mold growth or unusual discoloration.
