Organic Gluten Free Beef Stew

stewThis recipe is super simple… You’ll need:

  • 2 lbs grass fed stew beef (in bite sized pieces) usually comes cut
  • 1 big organic yam  or sweet potatoes (or 2 small yams) quartered
  • 4 organic carrots chopped
  • 4 organic celery sticks chopped
  • 2 cups organic gluten free beef stock
  • 1/4 cup organic rice flour
  • 1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper (organic is best)
  • 1 tsp paprika (organic is best)
  • 1 tsp savory herbs or 1 bay leaf (I used herbs, cause it’s all i had and i forgot to pick up bay leaves. 

Also plan to have:

  • 1 crock pot
  • 1 big wooden sppon
  • A good knife and wooden chopping board
  • A hearty appetite :)

Makes 3-4 servings depending on how big your appetite is.. I think this will be just 3 for me!

*You can add onions and garlic if you want, i didn’t cause they don’t agree with my metabolic type, but if you like them go for it - also you can change the veggie ratios to your taste.

Directions:

Put beef in crock pot, add rice flour, pepper and spices, stir with wooden spoon to coat meat. Add stock and veggies, stir well.

Let cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6 hours on low (cock pots vary so if this is your first time cooking the recipe I would plan to be home in the last 1-2 cooking hours just to check it.

I put mine in the pot at 4:30pm, turned it on high, went to go train Muay Thai, got home at 7:30pm checked it, turned it to warm and ate at 8:30p and it was perfect!

Seriously, how simple is that?! Now don’t tell me you don’t have time for healthy dinners! I work all day, train as a pro athlete and have time to make delicious, healthy food. It just takes a bit of planning and dedication to a healthy life.
