Enjoy the rich, hearty flavor of bison stew, a nutritious and satisfying meal perfect for any occasion. Properly stored, this delicious bison dish can maintain its quality for several days in the refrigerator or much longer when frozen.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 3–4 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated bison stew at or below 4°C (40°F). For longer storage, freezing is recommended.

Freezing

Bison stew freezes exceptionally well, preserving its robust flavors and tender texture. Allow the stew to cool completely before portioning it into airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. To thaw, transfer the frozen stew to the refrigerator overnight or gently reheat it from frozen over low heat on the stovetop. Avoid refreezing thawed bison stew.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off-putting smell, distinct from its usual savory aroma.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the stew or meat.
