Substitute for stewing beef.?

Question

Want to make a beef stew in my crockpot.Can I substitute any other cuts of beef instead of using Stewing Beef.Trying to save a little money.What about round,sirloin tip, or rump roast.

Answer 1

Yes, yes, and yes. You can use any cut, especially in the crock pot, with the long slow cooking, a tough cut will work. Buy what you like and cut it to the size you want, or just dump it in there, when it is done enough, a fork will take it apart in shreds or hunks. (I do it all the time.)

Answer 2

Just get any cut of beef (what stew meat is!) and cut it up into chunks yourself. Stew meat is just the bits and peices left over from a variety of cuts. Look for tougher cuts like round, sirloin, top round.... all will make a tasty stew meat.

Answer 3

Stew meat is just simple small cubes of lean meat, I usually use chuck roast.

Answer 4

The important principle here is using tough cuts of meat. You try stewing filet mignon, or prime rib, and you'll get oatmeal lol.

Answer 5

Use chuck , tough , fatty, and flavorful . Perfect for a slow cooker. Don't use lean cuts.
