The tradition of making stew in the slow cooker holds that special warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia for people. It’s always nice to compare and contrast those old family classics that bring about such fond memories. Serve it up as is or with your favorite crusty gluten-free bread, cornbread, and/or even a dollop of coconut milk yogurt on top. All fall and winter long!

Ingredients

1 bay leaf
5 cups beef bone broth
2 cups butternut squash
3 parsnips peeled
3 large carrots peeled and chopped
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1 tbsp. dried parsley
3 cloves garlic minced
1 small red onion diced
1 tbsp. avocado oil
1 pound beef stew meat

Method

01

Turn on your Instant Pot, add the avocado oil, and press the Saute function. Add the chopped onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent about 5 minutes.
02

Add the beef stew meat and brown 1 to 2 minutes (do not cook through).
03

Add the remaining ingredients for the stew and stir well. Secure the lid on your Instant Pot and press the Stew/Meat button. Adjust the time setting to 35 minutes. Set to Sealing.
04

Slow Cooker Option:Add oil to a skillet and heat over medium. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the stew meat and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer onion and beef to your slow cooker along with the rest of the ingredients for the stew. Stir well and secure the lid on your slow cooker. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours, until beef is nice and tender.
05

Once the stew has finished cooking, allow it to naturally vent until it completes its cycle (about 30 minutes). Serve and enjoy!
