Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes and season with some salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and brown on all sides, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Remove beef and set aside.
Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the carrots and celery.
In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add carrot and celery slices and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
Return the beef to the pot, add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, sea salt, and peppers. Bring to a simmer.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer gently for about 2.5 hours or until the beef is tender.
Slice the mushrooms and peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
Add mushrooms and sweet potatoes to the pot, stir well, and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Discard bay leaves. Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Serve hot. Enjoy your hearty, nutritious Paleo Classic Stewed Beef!
