Antidiuretic hormone, also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland at the base of the brain. ADH helps regulate water balance in the body.
Stew meat is typically cut into 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch cubes and cooked with vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, celery and onions cut into similar sizes. You can purchase the meat precut and packaged for convenience or buy a roast and cut it yourself. Precut stew beef is usually more expensive per pound than roasts.
No Follow. Beef sold for stew (that is, trimmed and cut into bite-size cubes) is generally chuck or roundâtough cuts that become tender and flavorful when slowly simmered in liquid. Beef round cuts (bottom and eye) are generally leaner than chuck (shoulder, leg and butt) and very well-suited to stew. (Avoid beef top round, which is just too lean to braise).
