ragout

Hearty meat braise

Ragout is a slow-cooked stew of meat and vegetables in a thick, well-seasoned sauce.

The dish is French in origin, though the term applies broadly to similar hearty stews across cuisines: a lamb ragout with root vegetables, beef ragout served over polenta.

The meat is typically cut into chunks and braised until tender.
