About Hearty Beef Stew
A good beef stew asks almost nothing of you except time. Chuck roast, cut thick and browned in a heavy pot, gives up its toughness slowly — collagen melting into a rich, glossy gravy that clings to every carrot and potato. By the time the lid comes off and steam fills the kitchen, the onion has dissolved into sweetness and the whole pot tastes like something that's been looked after all afternoon.
