HEALTH BENEFITS OF BEEF STEW
The first written record of stew being made is in The Old Testament.
Hundreds of stews beef stews have appeared since then, and all over the world. American stews include a variety of ingredients such as chili, both Texas style and with beans, Brunswick Stew, and Burgoo. While they may be considered American now, all of these stews have their culinary roots abroad.
Making stew is definitely a practice in patience because it is common knowledge that if you give a stew more time, it will just keep getting better. Stews were born out of the working class kitchen, but these days you’ll find them on the menus of very expensive restaurants.
Beef has many health benefits that are often overshadowed by its high amount of cholesterol and fat. However, if eaten in moderation (and preferably grass fed organic), beef can be a great part of your healthy diet!
If you are iron deficient, beef should definitely be a part of your diet, and it is also very is rich in high-quality protein, necessary for building muscle. Surprisingly, lean beef contains only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast.
Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc and vitamin B12. Most beef cuts that are used for stewing are relatively lean. There are no hard and fast rules about what cut of beef to use for a stew, but for a healthy lifestyle and diet, it is recommended to use a lean cut.
