Do you always brown beef and pork?

Whenever I make stewed beef, beef stew, beef roasts or pork roasts, I always brown the meat first. Any kind of meat that is either cut up or going to be put in an oven or pot with liquid, I just think it tastes better browned. I think it gives it more flavor. What about you? Do you do this, or do you just boil it? And however you do it, did your Mom do it the way you do?

I agree, I do the same thing. I think it tastes better and I've found that whatever I am making gets cooked faster too. My mom never did this when she cooked. My husband was the one who actually taught me to do this, so now I do it all the time.
