der Braten, –
roast
Ein Stück Fleisch, das im Ofen oder in der Pfanne langsam gegart wird, bis es außen braun und innen weich ist.
The German word "Braten" is a noun that means "roast" or "a piece of roasted meat". It is also used as a verb, "braten," meaning "to roast" or "to fry". The noun form generally refers to a specific dish, often meat that has been cooked in this way. Similar words in German include "Rindfleisch" (beef), "Schmortopf" (stew), and "braten" as a verb (to roast).
While "Braten" specifically refers to roasted (often meat-based) dishes, "schmortopf" implies a longer and usually moist cooking process, and "Rindfleisch" is a broader term for beef without implying any particular cooking method.
