Beef Stew
Tender beef, creamy potatoes, savory carrots in a rich broth makes this the most comforting dish on the planet!
This is one of my family’s favorite meals ever. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to share it with you! It is a simple, down-home, comfort food dish that fills the bellies. It is simple meat and potatoes kind of meal which is always a crowd pleaser. It is also naturally gluten and dairy-free and made with all-natural ingredients.
We love rainy days in Arizona. Since it is sunny almost year-round, most people in Arizona enjoy a cloudy, crisp cool day. If there is any slight chill in the air, I want to whip up some homemade beef stew for the family. It is a stick-to-your-bones kind of meal made with ingredients you can pronounce.
This is comfort food that actually has health benefits! I found all of these ingredients at my local Fry’s store. The meat department makes it easy for you and you can buy perfectly cut bite-sized stew meat, which saves a lot of time! It is lean beef so it is a great source of lean protein.
I buy the Private Selection petite Yukon gold potatoes because they are perfectly creamy and less starchy than a russet potato. I use them all of the time! Carrots add a healthy carbohydrate with a rich amount of Vitamin A and onions are always amazing immune system boosters. If you want to up the gut health benefits, you can reach for beef bone broth instead of just beef broth.
When making beef stew, I throw everything in a slow cooker. It is so easy and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, set the timer to cook low and slow, and you end up with a gourmet comfort food meal.

My family loves this recipe. So easy and delicious. The leftovers are so good. Sometimes we don’t cook the potatoes in with the rest and make mashed potatoes instead. We then serve this over the mashed potatoes. We love the flavor.
My family really enjoyed this beef stew. Would it be possible to make this in a Dutch oven in the oven as opposed to a crock pot/slow cooker? If so, what temperature and cooking time would you recommend for the recipe? I appreciate your time. Thank you!
My families absolute favorite Sunday meal…..soooo good! I’ve made this with chicken, as well, and we love that, too. I just use chicken broth instead, eliminate the tomato paste and substitute cream of chicken soup.
When you create the printable version, could you leave out all the detailed information at the top not necessary to the recipe? It takes up so much room, that two pages have to be printed. Thanks.
I made this tonight and my whole family loved it. I was surprised with how flavorful it was when there are so few ingredients. I will definitely make this again. So so good.
Trying this in a InstaPot tonight. It looks yummy… will tag on Instagram.
I just found your site today and I don’t know where to begin. I should start with thank you. I’m going to buy a juicer or Vitamix ASAP. I had a partial thyroidectomy in 2004 and have struggled with uncontrollable hypothyroidism and Hashimoto s for years now. I take synthroid as well as liothironinr but my tsh is different every month so my synthroid is different every month.
Now they discovered I have a positive ANA factor and the titer for CREST Syndrome. They even said I had limited scleroderma. The Rheumatologist prescribed so many drugs but when I read about them, I refused to take take them.
I hope to see better results with this!
