Stew Meat:  Where does it come from?

Stew Meat is a generic term. Where does it come from?

When you’re filling out a cut sheet for beef, you’ll almost always come across this as an option.  It is an option on my own cut sheet as well.

‘Stew Meat’ is typically cut out of the round or the chuck, but can be cut from just about any roast section of the animal.  That being said, if you run out of Stew Meat, and you’re swimming in roasts, pull out one of those roasts and cut it into stew appropriate sized pieces and you’re back in business.
