Paleo Crock Pot Beef Stew
Ahhhh there is nothing better than on a cool fall day to have the smell of beef stew cooking away in the crock pot. So homey, and relaxing. That would be perfect for a day like today here in Colorado. It's currently 52 degrees out and I'm stuck at work until 4:30 pm. The greatest thing about beef stew is that it really cannot be over cooked haha. You can leave it in the crock pot on low allllllllllllll day long. Going Paleo means giving up a very important part of beef stew, potatoes. How was I ever going to come up with a stew that still tastes that amazing with out it?!? Well lets add another favorite veggie, green beans. Yes, yes, this will be perfect!! And yes there is wine in the stew, is wine Paleo? Well people argue it both ways. All I know is I'm not ready to give up my alcohol...so yeah...I will be drinking wine and cooking with it haha. So here we go!
Paleo Crock Pot Beef Stew
2 lbs stew beef (cubed or not cubed doesn't matter)
5 slices of bacon
1 large yellow onion (diced)
4 cloves of garlic (I love garlic)
4 large carrots (chopped into bite sized pieces)
1/2 lb green beans (trimmed)
Can of beef stock
1 cup red wine
1 bay leaf
Cook up the bacon in a pan until nice and crispy. Let cool and set aside reserving the leftover grease. Take and brown off the stew meat, weather it's whole and you wanna shred it later or the individual cubes. Place in crock pot. Saute the onions in the bacon grease until tender, and add the garlic to cook for a couple of minutes. De-glaze the pan with the onions and garlic still in it with the red wine. Let reduce for about 5 minutes. Pour everything into the crock pot. Add can of beef stock, veggies, bay leaf and the bacon crumbled to the crock pot. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs.
Now the best part... ENJOY!
Wish it looked a little better haha, but trust me it tastes wonderful!
