You can redirect the error stream to a file using the `Console.SetError(TextWriter)` method. First, create a `TextWriter` instance that points to the desired file. Example:
```csharp
using System.IO;
TextWriter errorWriter = new StreamWriter("error.log");
Console.SetError(errorWriter);
Console.Error.WriteLine("This error message will be written to error.log");
errorWriter.Close(); // Ensure the data is flushed and the file is closed
```
