Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb stew meat
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 potato, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 2 (16.9 oz) cartons bone broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients measured and prepared to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Season and Sear Meat: Season stew meat with salt and black pepper. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, then sear the meat for about 5 minutes until it develops a brown crust, enhancing flavor.
  3. Chop Vegetables and Mince Garlic: While the meat sears, dice the potato, chop carrots, celery, and onion, and mince the garlic to prepare them for cooking.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped vegetables and minced garlic to the pot with the seared meat. Sauté for about 5 minutes to soften and release their natural flavors.
  5. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in bone broth, add the bay leaves, and coconut aminos. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Simmer the Stew: Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let the stew simmer gently for 45 to 60 minutes. This slow simmering tenderizes the meat and melds the flavors.
  7. Final Touch: Remove the bay leaves before serving to ensure no tough leaves remain. Serve hot and enjoy your cozy, nutritious paleo beef stew!

Notes

  • For extra richness, you can add a splash of olive oil or ghee when searing the meat.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes into the broth during simmering.
  • The stew can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Feel free to add other paleo-friendly vegetables like parsnips or turnips for variety.
  • Adjust salt and seasoning at the end of cooking to taste.
