Ingredients

2 tbsp avocado oil
1 lb beef stew meat
1 tsp sea salt divided
1 onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup white sweet potato chopped (sub orange sweet potato)
1 cup carrots chopped
4 ½ cups beef broth
14 0 z can of diced tomatoes with sauce sub 1 3/4 cup nomato sauce for AIP
½ cup red wine sub broth for whole30, see notes for AIP
¼ tsp pepper omit for AIP
2 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

Using a large stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the stew meat and lightly season with salt. Saute until browned and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the carrots and sweet potato and cook for another 3-4 minutes to allow to slightly soften.
Pour in the broth, tomato (or alternative) and red wine and stir well to combine. Season with additional salt, pepper, cloves, and place in the bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
Bring the soup to a low simmer and allow to simmer for 60-90 minutes, stirring often, until the beef is fully cooked through and tender and the vegetables are fork tender.
Remove the bay leaves, cinnamon and cloves and serve topped with fresh parsley. Enjoy as a stew, or serve over a starch of your choice like rice (or cauliflower rice) or a mashed root vegetable.

Notes

Wine is not AIP, but the alcohol will cook off. Regardless, sub broth is you'd choose to forgo it.

To modify for the slow cooker, cook for 8 hours or until the until the beef is fully cooked through and tender and the vegetables are fork tender.

To modify for the instant pot, use about 1/2-1 cup less of broth and use the "stew" function to cook.
