The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a dish and a cooking method. Stewing involves not fast cooking piece of meat, vegetables or beans in a flavorful water based . It’s same as to braising, instead it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces but of being cooked whole , and the water based material all of it 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 being a rib-sticking eating process 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 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 way they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
