About this cut
What it is and how to use it
Stew meat is beef cut into bite-sized cubes, most often from the chuck or round. It is a tougher, hard-working meat full of flavor, and it turns tender and rich after a long, gentle simmer in liquid. It is the usual choice for beef stew, chili, goulash, and beef and noodles. Cubes from the chuck have more marbling and stay juicier.
Cook’s tipBrown the cubes in batches, then simmer gently, covered, until fork-tender, usually one and a half to three hours.
