Can You Make This Beef Stew Ahead?
Yes, you can and moreover, the flavors of the beef intensify and it gives it time to develop when you make it a day in advance.
Just store it in the fridge and warm in on the day you want to serve it.
Can You Freeze Beef Bourguignon?
The answer is yes this beef recipe freezes really well. Let it cool completely before you transfer the beef in a freezer-friendly container.
The beef will freeze up until 3 months. When you want to serve, thaw the stew in the fridge completely as this will take about 8 hours.
Then put the stew in a Dutch oven and warm over low heat until warmed through. You can also warm the beef in the oven.
Just preheat the oven to 360℉ and warm for at least 10 minutes or until hot.
Why Is My French Beef Stew Meat Tough?
The most likely reason when your beef is tough is the beef hasn't cooked long enough. However, if you use a pressure cooker or slow cooker it is almost impossible to get tough beef.
But if you cook this beef stew in a Dutch oven I advise putting the Dutch oven in the oven at 440℉ with the lid closed for about 3-4 hours.
With the lid closed the steam stays with the pan that will keep the meat moist.
I hope you like this beef bourguignon recipe as much as I do and give it a try!
