INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1.5kg grass-fed / organic beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 large yellow onion, cut into chunks 4 large carrots (or 5 medium), peeled and cut into thick diagonal slices 500g potatoes, diced into ½ inch cubes 1 1⁄2 cups filtered water 3 tbsp Lemon & Herb Body Glue™ (you could also use Naturalor Boost) 1 cup dry red wine (or sub extra broth) 2 tbsp Organic Tomato Paste 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup frozen peas (optional) 1⁄4 cup Tapiocaor Cassava Flour (for thickening) Freshly ground salt and pepper
DESCRIPTION
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large fry pan and place over medium-high heat. Add beef, season with salt and pepper and brown in batches - this should take about 5 minutes per batch of meat. Transfer to a large slow cooker/pressure cooker.
Next, mix the Body Glue™ into filtered water till dissolved. Add broth, dry red wine, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, thyme and a little salt and pepper. Stir together with the beef until combined, then add in garlic, onion chunks, carrots and diced potatoes.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. We prefer to cook this slow so that the beef becomes really tender and the flavours have time to intensify.
Next, remove 1 cup of liquid broth from the slow cooker and transfer it to a medium bowl. Whisk in ¼ cup flour until there aren’t any lumps remaining. Add back to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Add in frozen peas and cook uncovered on high for 10-15 more minutes until the beef stew thickens up a bit.
Serve with toasted sourdough, your fav greens or rice.
