What cut of meat is used as stew meat?

Answer 1

Beef is my fav.

Try using cube steak as the cut, or even skirt steak. Most grocery store butchers will actually have some marked "Stew Meat," at least here in America's midwest. Really any lean cut of beef is fine.

Make sure you don't leave the pieces too big, and have it all cut against the grain. Also be sure to trim off ALL fat or gristle. Stew meat is generally cheap and can easily be tough. Sear it a little bit quickly in the bottom of your pot before adding the liquid so it will bring out the most flavor and cook the meat slowly over a low simmer so it stays tender.

Answer 2

If you want to make a good stew...you need to use a cut of beef called 'skirt' in the UK, cut in cubes, roll in flour and brown in a fry pan with a bit of oil. put in an oven dish, add onion, leek, cellery,carrot, parsley, bay leaf, 1 stock cube. Salt and pepper. Throw in a can of beer, close the top with foil and then ad a tight fitting lid and simmer in a slow oven for about 3 hours.

We had this for lunch today and it was fantastic!!

It can be any kind. I prefer beef. It goes better with veggies, but that's just my opinion. I am actually making chicken stew tonight (I had to do something with yesterday's chicken). You can use beef, chicken, veal, and pork.
