Tip:  The best meat to use for making beef stew

• Choose a cut of beef that’s tough but can become tender once it cooked slowly in liquid such as chuck, bottom round, rump or short ribs.
• You can buy stew meat pre-cut into cubes or you can buy a roast and cut into cubes yourself which will be more economical.
• Alternatively, this recipe also works well as a pot roast (bottom round,brisket) or with short ribs.  Simply brown the meat whole and continue to follow instructions for stew.
