beef ragout

Hearty meat dish

Beef ragout is a hearty stew of beef chunks braised slowly with vegetables, herbs, and wine or stock until the meat becomes tender.

The French term ragout (from a word meaning "to revive the taste") applies to any well-seasoned stew, but beef ragout specifically features cubed beef as its centerpiece: The beef ragout simmered all afternoon.
