Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 3 cups beef broth, low-sodium and Whole30-compliant
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef stew meat to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and brown on all sides. This should take about 5-6 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Sauté the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Pour in the beef broth, coconut aminos, and balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Return the browned beef to the skillet, adding fresh thyme and rosemary.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to form a slurry.
Once the beef is tender, stir the arrowroot slurry into the skillet to thicken the gravy. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or black pepper as needed.
Serve the beef tips and gravy hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
