When cooking with stewing beef, its important to remember that it comes from tougher cuts of meat with lots of connective tissue. Therefore, it requires longer cook times to make it tender. Some recipes may call for low and slow cooking in a liquid, like beef stock, to break down the connective tissues and result in tender, flavorful beef. Other recipes may call for browning the beef before adding it to the dish. Regardless of the recipe, stewing beef can be a delicious and satisfying ingredient in a variety of dishes.
