Sweet & Spicy Beef Stew

Servings: 6
Calories: 288kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 16 oz beef broth (I like 365 brand from Whole Foods)
  • 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes with green chiles drained
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled & cubed
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • t tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup kale chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • hot sauce to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add the beef stew meat, and sauté until all sides are browned, but the meat is not cooked through.  (This step is optional, but in only takes a few minutes.)
  • Transfer the meat to a slow cooker, and add all remaining ingredients, except for the red bell pepper and kale (save those until the end).
  • Give everything a good mix, and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours.  Add the kale and bell pepper, and continue cooking for one more hour.*
  • Serve warm, topped with hot sauce and avocado if you'd like!

Notes

*I like adding the kale and bell pepper at the end so that they stay bright & colorful with a bit of crunch, and don't get too soft.  You can add them at the beginning if you'd like!
