All the right terminology has to be used to explain it properly

There are 2 techniques beeing discussed and mixed up with a dish

techniques
Stewing technically means slow cooking on a small fire at low temps. No more , no less.

Braising basically means when cooking a big pieace of meat, you close the meat, add "some" liquid" and put a lid on it, so it cooks through and doesn't dry out..


dish
Stew , beef stew for instance, is done by dicing the meat, then first closing the meat with high heat with some veggies, and ultimately submerging it with a wine or beer.
That's stew.
