Morphology
The meaning 'genuine or authentic' is directly and compositionally derived from 'real' (genuine) modifying 'stuff' (things); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the intended sense. The adjective+noun pattern is basic and cross-linguistically common, and although 'stuff' is vague, 'real' clearly constrains it to authenticity, making the phrase transparent.
Etymology
Real stuff comes from the simple picture of something made from true material, with real meaning not fake and stuff meaning the actual things you can touch or use. So when people say real stuff they mean 'genuine' or 'not a copy'.
