Comforting Organic Grass Fed Beef Stew, a wonderful, full of flavor, healthy homemade dish. I love the aromas coming out of the kitchen, all the different salty and sweet ingredients, and the outstanding comforting taste of this traditional meal.
Comforting Organic Grass Fed Beef Stew
You are what you eat and that applies to cows too. This is the reason why I choose to buy grass fed beef. Grass-fed has less total fat than grain-fed beef. It contains up to 5 times as much Omega-3! It also has more vitamin E and minerals like potassium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus.
A cow that eats grass is eating real food vs. a grain-fed cow who eats a highly processed grain diet full of chemicals and genetically modified corn. Think about it this way: Eat real food that eats real food!
I served my Comforting Organic Grass Fed Beef Stew over Quinoa this time and it was so delicious! I am as always trying to stay away from cans and boxes and this recipe uses fresh ingredients except for 3 tablespoons of Tomato Paste
and Pacific Organic Beef Broth
. Pretty good I think!
A little prep time is needed to cut all the fresh vegetables. Then you need to get a little organized not to miss all the wonderful ingredients integrated in this Grass Fed Beef Stew. Olives, Currants, peas, carrots, potatoes, onions, tomatoes. Yum! My mouth is watering!
You can make this delicious recipe in a Slow Cooker, but I decided to make this Comforting Organic Grass Fed Beef Stew in a regular pot this time. I cooked it for about 1 hour in low heat, and the meat came out super tender and the stew full of wonderful homemade flavors.

Start adding the rest of the ingredients and mix everything well. Add the broth mixed in with the flour at the end. Check to see If you want more sauce, you can add a little more broth or water.

Sounds like a good recipe but I’m struggling with the raisins. I’ve never had a stew dish with something sweet in it so I’m intrigued. I’ll have to see if I can get the wife on board. :). I’ll try not this weekend. Wish me luck!
No rated yet since I have made it. I’ll try to remember to post a new comment after making this dish so you may want to hold off on approving this comment. 🙂

I try this recipe however, it is a required taste. My husband likes it. I should have made it with the beef broth it would have been better. Next time I will try beef broth instead.
