Beef stew is a hearty and comforting dish that has origins in many cuisines worldwide, including Irish, American, and French. This savory meal typically includes tender chunks of beef slow-cooked with vegetables like carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery in a flavorful broth or sauce. Some recipes also incorporate tomatoes, herbs, and wine for added richness. Beef stew is a good source of protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, potassium, and vitamin A from the vegetables. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium and fat, particularly if made with processed ingredients or fattier cuts of meat. Opting for lean beef, low-sodium broth, and lots of vegetables can make this dish a balanced and warming option for a nutritious meal. Served on its own or with crusty bread, beef stew is a timeless comfort food loved across cultures.
