Add onion to pan; sautÃ© 8 minutes or until tender. Return browned roast to pan. Add the red wine, thyme sprigs, chopped garlic, beef broth, and bay leaf to pan; bring to a simmer. Cover pan and bake at 350Â° for 1 1/2 hours or until the roast is almost tender. Add carrots and potatoes to pan. Cover and bake an additional 1 hour or until vegetables are tender.
1. Seal food destined for the freezer tightly. If the food is exposed to air in its container, plastic bag, or other packaging, it will cause the food to dry out and experience freezer burn. 1  Place your food in quality freezer bags or plastic containers; alternatively, wrap your food with freezer wrap or aluminum foil.
The following lists will give you clear instructions for how long each type of food can be stored in the freezer before its quality starts to decline (think freezer burn). All of these times assume that you froze your food well-wrapped or in freezer containers or bags. Note that these times only refer to how long your frozen food will still be of excellent quality when you finally get around to eating it: It's not a safety issue. Frozen food will safely keep in the freezer indefinitely. But its flavor and texture will be vastly better if you stick to these maximum storage times.
