Morphology
The meaning 'meat intended for stewing' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'stew' (to simmer slowly) with 'meat' (animal flesh); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this refers to meat prepared/cut for stewing. This is a straightforward attributive/compositional noun phrase following common cross-linguistic cooking-language patterns, so the sense is immediately recoverable from the parts.
Etymology
Stew meat comes from the simple kitchen picture of pieces of meat cut small to cook slowly in a stew. That's why stew meat means 'meat cut and chosen for slow cooking so it becomes tender'.
