How Do You Make Beef Stew Tender?
To make beef stew tender, use a tougher cut of meat such as chuck or round and cook it low and slow for several hours. Adding acidic ingredients such as tomatoes or wine can also help tenderize the meat. Additionally, adding a flour coating to the meat before browning it can help to retain moisture and tenderize it. Finally, letting the stew rest for 10-15 minutes before serving will ensure that the meat is tender and juicy.
