The name of “stew” can process to both a dish and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s similar to braising, instead it makes have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces instead of being processing menu all of it , and the liquid completely covers the contents 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 perception for being a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming featured food , but stew’s cozy factor goes way beyond preserving you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
