Simmer 6 to 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a dish and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking piece of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull water based . It’s same as to braising, but it does have a few piece of differences. The raw animal vested is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the liquid all of it covers the contents in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking eating process that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the cold . It’s all about those soft and chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together creates the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
