Stew beef can tickle the taste buds, but can also be tricky to cook with.
These cuts of beef can have tough connective tissue that needs to break down for mouth tender morsels.
Tips for cooking Beef Stew Meat Recipes
You can achieve fork tender results with inexpensive stew meat with a few tips and tricks!
- For a rich flavor, start by browning your stew meat for a couple of minutes. Add a little olive oil to your pan over medium-high heat and allow each side to brown.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when browning! Scrape up all of those brown bits for the most flavorful beef stew meat!
- To ensure connective tissue breaks down, try cooking using instant pot recipes or slow cooking. These cooking methods cook with moisture and will allow connective tissues to dissolve resulting in tender meat!
- Try a powdered tenderizer for extra tender beef.
- Marinating your beef in beef broth or red wine is a great way to make inexpensive cuts of meat extra tender.
Cooking with these tender chunks of beef will give you a comforting meal that will be a big hit with your family! Each of these recipe ideas uses simple ingredients you can find at your grocery store.
