What is Beef Stew?
Beef stew is a hearty dish that is prepared with chunky cuts of vegetables and chunks of beef. Cooked to a thicker consistency than most soups, beef stew along with crusty hunks of bread make a simple but filling meal that is ideal for cold weather or rainy days. It is not unusual for beef stew to cook slowly for several hours, allowing the broth to thicken and allow time for the flavors of all the ingredients to intermingle.
