The word “stew” can refer to both a food and a make dishes method. Stewing involves slowly cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a flavorful liquid . It’s similar to braising, but it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the liquid completely covers the essential in a stew as different 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 reputation for making a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor goes way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those soft and chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together creates the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
