Notes

How to Store Filet Mignon

Storing meat is simple, but does take extra time to prepare. You will want the juices to stay within the meat. Place the meat in an aluminum shield wrapped around the meat. Then place in an air-tight container or ziplock bag. This will stop any juices from flowing out while sitting in the refrigerator. Store for three to five days before the beef goes bad.
