The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a food and a make dishes method. Stewing makes not fast cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s similar to braising, instead it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the water based material completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic 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 tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
