Stew

Beef stew is a culinary dish consisting of beef, potatoes, and other ingredients, all stewed in liquid. The stew is usually served hot and may include vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions. The beef used can be from various parts of the cow, including chuck, round, or shank, and is typically cut into bite-sized cubes or chunks. The dish is popular in many cultures and has various regional variations. In Hebrew, beef stew is known as "מרק בשר" or "מרק בשר בקר". Other translations include "Gulasch" in German, "Bœuf bourguignon" in French, and "Estofado de carne" in Spanish. The dish is often considered comfort food and is typically served as a main course, accompanied by bread or rice. It is also a common dish during colder months due to its hearty and warming nature.

Stew
A stew is a combination of solid food ingredients that have been cooked in liquid and served in the resultant gravy. Ingredients can include any combination of vegetables and may include meat, especially tougher meats suitable for slow-cooking, such as beef, pork, venison, rabbit, lamb, poultry, sausages, and seafood. While water can be used as the stew-cooking liquid, stock is also common. A small amount of red wine or other alcohol is sometimes added for flavour. Seasonings and flavourings may also be added. Stews are typically cooked at a relatively low temperature, allowing flavours to mingle.
