Antidiuretic hormone, also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland at the base of the brain. ADH helps regulate water balance in the body.
Stew meat is typically cut into 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch cubes and cooked with vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, celery and onions cut into similar sizes. You can purchase the meat precut and packaged for convenience or buy a roast and cut it yourself. Precut stew beef is usually more expensive per pound than roasts.
The oven provides a steady heat to the stew, helping it cook evenly without having to stir it. Coat the meat with flour before browning it for a thick stew. If your market doesn't have stew meat readily available, cube 2 lbs. of larger cuts of meat, such as a chuck roast.he oven provides a steady heat to the stew, helping it cook evenly without having to stir it.
