Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef chuck, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups Beef broth, low sodium
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes, canned
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves, dried
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper.
Add the beef to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes, stirring well.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
Discard the bay leaves. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes, just until wilted.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.
