'dish' is the definition.
(stew is a kind of dish)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stew that I've seen before include "Braise" , "Dish of meat and vegetables cooked slowly in liquid" , "Dish cooked in a pot" , "Slow cooked meat dish" , "Meat and veg dish" .)
