Stew Beef

Stew Beef is typically a mix of tougher, connective-tissue-rich cuts cut into cubes for slow-cooked dishes like stews and braises; it’s commonly labeled as Beef Shank, Beef Stew Meat or Stewing Beef depending on the butcher. It’s a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 28.4g of protein per 100 g, and is prized in many cuisines for the deep flavor and gelatinous richness slow cooking brings out. Nutritionally, it supplies important animal-source micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and zinc along with selenium, which makes it useful for meeting those nutrient needs in mixed diets. The fat content gives it richness and contributes to satiety, so smaller portions can be filling in a meal. From a health perspective, this is a high-quality protein with a strong amino-acid profile and good satiety properties, while also delivering key minerals found primarily in meat. For lighter options in stews, consider leaner cuts, poultry, or plant-forward combinations that preserve texture while reducing total fat.
