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

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 classic beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor more than a 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 creates the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
