Braising vs stewing

Question

I've stumbled upon a recipe for braising beef and now I am wondering what is the difference between stewing and braising. I saw on google that braising requires a larger meat piece but to me, it still looks like stewing 🤷‍♀️

they are similar, so it's a common confusion.  Braising involves cooking large pieces of meat partially covered in liquid, while stewing uses smaller pieces of meat totally immersed in liquid. The liquid will usually be a combination of stock and water
