Best Ever Beef Stew!

I made this beef stew recipe for dinner tonight and I just had to share it with you all. I forgot to take a picture though so that was a major blog fail, but this recipe is amazing. This is one of our favorite meals. We do follow a modified Paleo diet in our house. This means we allow cheese sometimes and occasional sour cream. We let our kids use ketchup and occasionally I use corn starch, like in this recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!

Best Ever Beef Stew

Ingredients:

2 pounds cubed beef stew meat

3 tbsp oil (we use coconut oil)

4 cubes of beef bouillon (we use better than bouillon and just dump a couple spoonfuls in)

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried parsley

3 large potatoes; cut and cubed

4 carrots cut into 1 inch pieces

1 large onion; chopped

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons cold water

In large pot, cook beef in oil until brown. Dissolve bouillon in  the 4 cups of water  and pour into pot. Stir in seasoning. Bring to a boil and then simmer and cover for one hour.

Stir potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion into the pot. Dissolve cornstarch into the 2 teaspoons of cold water and stir into the stew. Cover and simmer 1 hour more.

And there you have it! Delicious beef stew! I hope your family enjoys this simple recipe as much as we do.
