Slumgullion

This article is about the food. For NBA player nicknamed Beef Slumgullion, see Isaiah Stewart. A stew is a combination of solid food ingredients that have been cooked in liquid and served in the resultant gravy.

A stew needs to have raw ingredients added to the gravy. Stewing is suitable for the least tender cuts of meat that become tender and juicy with the slow moist heat method. This makes it popular in low-cost cooking. Cuts having a certain amount of marbling and gelatinous connective tissue give moist, juicy stews, while lean meat may easily become dry. Stews are thickened by reduction or with flour, either by coating pieces of meat with flour before searing, or by using a roux or beurre manié, a dough consisting of equal parts of fat and flour.
