Step 1

The key to making a good beef stew is to take your time. Allow to simmer 4 to 8 hours, the longer the better.

Step 2

Sear stew meat in avocado or coconut oil until brown on all sides.

Step 3

Add onion and cook until onion is translucent and starting to get brown.

Step 4

Add celery and cook for a couple more minutes.

Step 5

Keep adding enough liquid to cover the meat so it doesn’t get dry.

Step 6

Allowed to cook for at least a couple of hours until the meat is tender.

Step 7

Add the potatoes and pumpkin, cook for two minutes.

Step 8

Add carrots. Make sure you adding enough liquid to cover your stew.

Step 9

Allow your stew to simmer until potatoes, pumpkin, and carrots are done. I usually keep adding water to the stew until the very end. Then I add my beef or bone broth. Serve with warm bread!
