Can I make stew on the hob?

[SeaSaltandLime]

And if so, any tips?

My casserole dish just broke and I was planning on a beef stew for dinner.
Can anyone help? Please?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stew

This is all I can find, but I swear I read this in a history book about how humans learned to stew.

Can't comment on the Japanese stewing or when stews hit Ireland, but I think it was stone age times.......... Maybe. Wish I could find that old history book.

*meat not meet goddammit!!!

Agree. Stew on the hob, casserole in the oven

I’m doing Irish stew today, on the hob obviously as that’s the only way to do it

But is it proper irish stew Missy with lamb?

Slow but stir occasionally to prevent too much sticking. Before ovens were invented, I guess all meat and veg mixtures were cooked in a pot on an open fire. Add some red wine vinegar or similar to speed up tenderising (not too much obvs)

@Deadringer An Irish stew is made with lamb.......

I know that 1FineDane, but most Irish people I know make it with beef, me included.
