Notes
Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavors often deepen over time, making it even more delicious the next day.
Freezer: Beef curry freezes well. Cool completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave. If the curry thickens too much in storage, stir in a splash of broth or coconut milk to loosen it up.
