Can beef be cooked in chicken broth?
I found a recipe for beef stew, but it was to be cooked in checken broth, not beef. I used to work in a small fast food section of a conviance store and they always warned us about not cooking hamburgers in the same containers as chicken because of cross-contamination. So is it safe to cook beef in chicken broth?

Yes, it can. It's raw chicken meat that can contain salmonella and needs to be cooked at a higher temperature than beef does. Chicken broth is the juice you get from boiling chicken in water, so it is already cooked and safe to use at the lower temperature the beef will cook at. You can make your own chicken broth by boiling a few chicken pieces and straining off the water, or buy it from the store in cans, or mix it up by adding a chicken buoillon cube to some water.

Apart from a potential confusion of flavors I see no reason why you could not do that. Some people cook beef by boiling it in water. Cooking it in chicken broth just adds aditional nutrients.
Ever try cooking rice in chicken broth? Adds nutrient value to the rice as it absorbs the broth.

Yes, I do it all the time. I also combine beef and chicken broth for certain dishes, like chili. The cross contamination comes from putting raw beef where you had raw chicken. The broths are already cooked, processed and canned.

Only is the broth has been fully cooked prior to adding the beef. Canned broth is already cooked and safe.

the only time youre going to get cross contamination is when the food is raw and uncooked. Good thinking though. Alot of recipes use chicken broth as a base becuase it's so versitle and it blends well without overpowering the main ingredients.

Chicken broth as in fully cooked chicken juices? Not a problem. They meant the raw and cooking stuff, by the way, not fully cooked.

Yes you can and it adds another level of flavor. They are right about cross-contamination but that has to do with Raw meats and poultry. Enjoy
