Paleo Beef Stew Recipe with Certified Angus Beef®
I admit that one of my favorite comfort foods is beef stew. Normally, I make beef stew in the slow cooker. I don’t think I’ve ever made a beef stew any other way.
When I was asked to create two beef stew recipes for you using Certified Angus Beef®, I was intrigued to find that neither of them were made in the slow cooker.
The first recipe I created was the Hearty Beef Stew from the program Recipe Rehab. I made a few minor changes to keep it Paleo and in line with what we eat.
What is Angus beef?
When you see the Certified Angus Beef® brand logo, the beef has met ten standards for premium quality, including abundant marbling. Marbling is the little white flecks within the red meat.
These melt during cooking, basting beef from the inside out for mouthwatering flavor and juiciness. The brand is a cut above USDA Prime, Choice and Select grades.
Best beef for stew
Beef contains Zinc, Iron and Protein – nutrients that are essential to a healthy, balanced diet. Beef is a great source of B vitamins which promote growth and help maintain health.
There are 29 cuts of beef that are lean and if you are looking for lean beef, you should look for round or loin in the name. Cooking from scratch with healthy ingredients is one of the ways I try to keep my family healthy.
When our garden is producing, we get most of our vegetables from our garden or the local Farmer’s Market. When snow is covering the ground (like today), I pick up organic vegetables at our local food coop.
Recipe rehab
This Paleo Beef Stew Recipe was adapted from a Hearty Beef Stew recipe provided by Chef Keoni Chang.
