Freezing Beef Beef Stew Pot Roast

I made Ina Garten's company pot roast last month and had maybe 3-4 cups of pureed vegetable sauce leftover that I froze. I was going to make another pot roast and I am wondering if I can cook the chuck roast in the leftover sauce along with some more carrots and onions.

I also have another chuck roast in my fridge that I was going to use to make a Guinness beef stew for my sister who is having a baby in a few days. I am wondering if it's better to make the stew and freeze it or just freeze the meat and make the stew when the baby comes.

Out of curiosity, are there other popular dishes made out of chuck roast? I bought more than I needed to make stew for a St. Patrick's Day party.

Thanks, CH!

Stew made with chuck roast will freeze just fine. There should be no problem in using your vegetable puree, but you might need to add a little water if it seems thick.

Your stew will freeze perfectly. Might even improve it a bit.

Sounds deelish!

My wife makes a dish that uses a thick, 7-bone chuck roast. There are stewed tomatoes, celery, onions, spices and stock. It is called Swiss Steak, although no jaccard was used. This is one of those "by memory" dishes and is served with mashed potatoes.

You can, but depending on your cooking method or process, you do risk the possibility of burning the puree if it is too thick or if the vegetables settles on the bottom.

Probably not typical, but you could consider this:

      It's not authentic and purists will howl, but the food it turns out is pretty good. And you set and forget. (Hint: get the simplest one they make, not the digital.)
