Why freezer storage times for cooked beef dishes are shorter than fresh beef Certain flavours in cooked dishes, such as onion and garlic, oxidise in the freezer over time – it's known as flavour tainting. Because many cooked
beef dishes contain one or both of these ingredients, we recommend storing for no more than one month to keep the flavours tasting fresh.
