1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
2 (16.9 oz) cartons bone broth
2 bay leaves

Instructions

Step 1: Gather all your ingredients to have everything ready before you start cooking.
Step 2: Season the stew meat with salt and pepper. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the meat for about 5 minutes until browned on all sides.

Step 4: Add the chopped vegetables and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté together with the meat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5: Pour in the bone broth, then add the bay leaves and coconut aminos. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 6: Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer gently for 45 to 60 minutes, until the meat is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Step 7: Remove the bay leaves before serving. Enjoy your cozy Paleo Beef Stew!

Tips & Variations

For extra depth of flavor, brown the vegetables slightly before adding the broth.
You can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes to add natural sweetness.
Add herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance the aroma and taste.
Use homemade bone broth for a richer, more nutritious stew.

Storage

Store any leftover stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through. This stew also freezes well—keep it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How to Serve

Two white bowls of beef stew sit on a beige cloth over a white marbled surface. Each bowl is filled with a rich brown broth, with visible chunks of dark brown beef, bright orange carrot pieces, pale yellow potato chunks, light green celery, and translucent cooked onions. Small green herb bits are sprinkled on top creating pops of color. Two golden spoons rest side-by-side in the upper right corner of the image, adding a warm metallic touch. The bowls have side handles and show a textured, hearty mix inside. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a slow cooker for this stew?

Yes, after searing the meat and sautéing the vegetables, transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours for tender results.

Is coconut aminos necessary?

Coconut aminos add a slightly sweet, savory flavor while keeping the recipe Paleo-friendly. If unavailable, you can substitute with a small amount of low-sodium soy sauce or omit it altogether, though it will change the flavor slightly.
