Should I CUT THE FAT before stewing this meat?!
I am s-l-o-w cooking a stew for supper, tonight!. I have cut my 2 pound, boneless roast into large (2-inch) chunks and then added a bag of frozen (Food-club) frozen stew veggies to this!.
Cooking this all day long in my roasting pan in 3 inches of water, I recall something(!?!?) about cutting off the beef fat from the meat vs!. leaving it on!.
If I leave the (1/8 inch thick - in sections) fat, should I expect this to add some FLAVOR to my stew, or should I simply cut it off and add some dry seasonings!?
Should I even bother to be so *picky* w!. eating this beef fat!?
I normally eat a Chinese cuisine (fish, shrimp & veggies!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Leaving the fat on will only add flavor to the stew itself!. It won't do anything bad to it unless you put it in the fridge afterwards then you're going to get the "lovely" fat layer when you pull it out of the fridge!. Hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com
There is a lot of flavor in the fat, but it makes the pan drippings really greasy so I cut it off!. I always make gravy with the drippings!. I think there is still enough fat left, and when you slow it will get tender!. I add onions and garlic salt and pepper!. Later you can add any additional veggies, and flavoring to taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
When I order the full cut Prime Rib even the Rib Eye,, I trim the fat to save for the dog but the best flavor is the fat cooking into the meat
Keep the fat when cooking
My mother loved the fat (any kind) and never complained when I trimmed mine offWww@FoodAQ@Com
