Most recipes for stews or casseroles require the meat to be browned before the other ingredients are added so that the meat juices are sealed in and the stew has a good colour. The meat is browned by quickly frying it in hot fat.
Browning also refers to placing already cooked food under a hot grill , or in a hot oven, for a few minutes, to give it a golden-brown colour.
