Step 1

Step 1
How to make stew and gravy in a saucepan? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. If you use frozen meat, you must first defrost it properly on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Read more about this at the end of the recipe. You can use any refined vegetable oil, I used sunflower oil.

Step 2
Wash the meat, be sure to dry it with a paper towel, otherwise excess moisture will not allow it to fry — it will stew. Cut into cubes. You can take beef or pork. Or even chicken or turkey. But keep in mind that cooking time and calorie content will change. I have pork tenderloin.
