Beef stew is a simple dish, but there are tips and tricks to making it perfect. Here are some suggestions:
- Beef chuck roast proved to be the most flavorful, tender and juicy for making stew, in a comparison of 12 cuts of meat. This is according to the revised edition of ⿿The America⿿s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook
⿿ (aff).
- Buy whole cuts of beef and cut it up into small pieces for the stew. Prepackaged stewing beef may be made up of irregularly-shaped pieces from various cuts, resulting in varying textures and flavors.
- Brown the meat in a heavy-bottomed pan such as a Dutch oven.
- Try adding paprika to your stew recipe.
