Equipment

  • Dutch Oven or stock pot

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Stew Beef or Beef Chuck Roast trimmed and cut into 1 – 1 1/2 inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons Salt plus additional for serving
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Ghee AIP reintroduction, substitute with additional olive oil
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 3 Garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup Celery diced
  • 6 cups Beef Broth Chicken Broth is a good substitute
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Italian Seasoning
  • 4 cup Root Vegetables peeled and chopped into pieces about 1/2” (I used a combination of sweet potato, parsnips and carrots)
  • Fresh parsley to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt over the beef pieces then set aside. Warm olive oil and butter in a large dutch oven (or heavy bottom stockpot), over high heat. Then carefully add beef and brown on all sides.
  • Once all beef is browned, add onion, garlic and celery and cook until translucent, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the beef broth, coconut aminos and Italian seasoning then stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to simmer. Allow soup to simmer 2 hours 30 minutes.
  • Next add sweet potatoes and carrots. Stir to coat vegetables and cover. Cook an additional 30 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender.
  • Taste broth. If necessary, add additional salt to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley to serve.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the browning the beef step. It helps create the deep flavorful broth.
  • The bone broth can be made with either chicken or beef. Either way, this stew is delicious.
  • This recipe calls for sweet potato, parsnips and carrots but any root vegetable will do. Feel free to experiment.
  • Yes, this recipe takes 4 hour to make. It’s for lazy Sunday afternoons when you have time to devote to a meal. It’s important that you don’t try and rush this recipe because the meat will be tough and the broth will be lacking the rich flavors.
  • Make sure to use a dutch oven of heavy bottomed stock pot for this recipe. I used a Le Creuset but here is a more affordable option.  
  • I get my grassfed beef from either Sprouts or US Wellness Meats
