Phrase | to stew |
Text | In this podcast, the verb "to stew" means to think and worry about something, especially without involving other people and without seeking help or advice: "Many business owners are stewing over the proposed increase in minimum wage and how it will affect their expenses." When talking about cooking, the verb "to stew" means to cook meat and vegetables at a simmer (a low or gentle boil) for a long time: "If you stew the beef for several hours, it should become more tender." And a "stew" is the thick, chunky, soup-like food made by stewing: "They served a delicious stew with beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions." Or, "Have you ever stewed rhubarb with strawberries and a little sugar? It makes a delicious dessert." |
