Ingredients

• 2 pounds grass-fed beef stew meat
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 3 large carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.25 cup parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef stew meat into 1-inch cubes if not pre-cut. Trim off any excess fat.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches without overcrowding, and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Slice the carrots into 1/4-inch rounds.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the carrots and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Return the beef to the pot. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 90 minutes or until the beef becomes tender.

Step 8

Stir occasionally and add a little more broth or water if needed to keep the beef submerged.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot flour with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir this mixture into the stew to thicken the broth.

Step 10

Add the frozen peas and let the stew simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 11

Roughly chop the parsley and stir it into the stew just before serving for a fresh herb aroma.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Beef Stew with Peas and Carrots.
