Place your leftovers in an air tight container and place in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days. We like to place in individual containers to easily place in a pita or whole wheat wrap to have for lunch the next day.

When you are ready to serve again, just toss back in your instant pot with some beef broth.

We actually think it taste better the next time we eat as all the ingredients had time to really marinate in with the beef.
