All About Organic Grass Fed Stew Beef

Stew beef is typically a mixture of trimmings from various cuts that are created when a beef is processed. For instance, when a butcher is carving a steak, he’ll trim off pieces in order to create a correctly-shaped steak. Those trimmings are often what stew beef is made from (and for that matter, ground beef is usually made from trim as well). As a result, stew beef chunks aren’t always the most tender (sometimes it’s trim from a less tender part of the beef), while other pieces in the mixture might be more tender.

When you cook stew beef, you want to either marinate or slow cook those chunks of meat in order to tenderize any chunks that are a little tougher. That’s why it’s called “stew beef.” Often you want to quickly pan fry it in a little oil in order to get some caramelization, then toss it into a stew and allow to simmer for several hours in order to tenderize.

We often also make Alderspring stew beef into a stir-fry. The trick to this is to marinate the stew beef for several hours before frying in order to get any less tender cuts to break down and tenderize. You can also grill those marinated chunks into nice kabobs!
