Stew has a reputation for being a rib-sticking meal that warms 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 comfort factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
