One-Pot Beef & Potato Stew
Why do we love this recipe?
This one-pot beef stew isn't just a delight for the taste buds; it's also a gut-friendly powerhouse. The stew begins with high-quality stewing beef, providing a rich source of protein essential for gut lining repair. Extra virgin olive oil adds a dose of heart-healthy fats, while the white onion and garlic contribute prebiotics that nourish the beneficial bacteria in the gut. The addition of tomato paste not only enhances flavour but also brings a burst of antioxidants. Russet potatoes add a source of easily digestible carbohydrates, and the peas contribute a healthy dose of fibre and additional antioxidants. This wholesome one-pot creation is the perfect blend of gut-nourishing ingredients, making it a comforting and nutritious choice for those looking to support their digestive well-being.
Ingredients
1 1/3 lbs Stewing Beef (cubed)
Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 tsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 White Onion (medium, diced)
2 Garlic (clove, minced)
1 1/2 tbsps Tomato Paste
2 1/2 cups Beef Broth
2 Russet Potato (medium, cubed)
1 cup Frozen Peas (thawed)
2 tbsps Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Season the beef all over with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and sear on all sides, until browned, about three minutes per side.
Add the onion and sauté for about five minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and sauté for another minute. Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for about an hour.
Add the potato to the pot, stir, and season the stew with salt and pepper. Cover the pot with a lid again and simmer for another 35 to 45 minutes.
Once everything is cooked through, add the peas and stir well. Cover and continue to cook for seven to 10 minutes. Divide the stew between serving bowls. Top with parsley, and enjoy!
