How to Reheat and Store Make-Ahead Butter Garlic Steak

Best way to Store Butter Garlic Steak Marinade Leftovers?

The best way to store leftover steak is to allow the steak to cool to room temperature before storing. Place the steak in an airtight container or storage bag. Place the leftovers in the fridge within 2 hours of cooking, making sure to label the container with the date of preparation to keep track of freshness.

How long will Butter Garlic Steak last in the fridge?

While following the process of cooling and storing correctly, the Butter Garlic Steak will remain fresh in the fridge for 3-5 days. If you do not plan to consume your leftovers within this time, consider storing in the freezer. 

Can I freeze Savory Butter Garlic Steak?

Yes, we recommend prepping this recipe as a raw freezer meal by adding all the ingredients into a gallon freezer bag, labeling the bag for recipe name and date of preparation.
If you have already cooked the meal and are wanting to store your leftovers, place the wrapped steaks in a freezer safe container or bag. Press out any excess air from the bag before sealing it tightly. Label the container or bag with the date and store it in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.

How to Reheat Delicious Butter Garlic Steak?

When you are ready to reheat your leftovers, if they have been stored in the freezer, allow the steak to thaw overnight before reheating.
Reheat the steak gently on the stovetop or in the oven to preserve its flavor and texture. Avoid reheating steak in the microwave for too long, as it can result in an uneven heat and a loss of moisture and texture.
