About Beef stew meat

Beef stew meat is beef cut into chunks for cooking in stews and other long-cooked dishes. It is often assembled from economical cuts that benefit from slow, moist cooking, but the source muscle is not fixed by this name. Pieces may be sold fresh or frozen, trimmed to varying degrees, and cut to different sizes.

The raw chunks are red, with variable visible fat and connective tissue; their texture and tenderness after cooking depend on the cuts used and cooking time. Because the label describes a use and cut size rather than one anatomical cut, different packages can have noticeably different appearance, flavour, and cooking behaviour.
