Make the next meal easier

Use extra beef and broccoli in a wrap or over noodles; keep the rice separate so it reheats evenly.

Cool portions in shallow sealed containers, refrigerate within 2 hours, and use within 3 days.

Reheat covered with a splash of water, stirring once, until the beef and rice are hot throughout.
