Ingredients
  

  • Coconut oil (enough to coat the bottom of the sauté pan)
  • 2 pounds stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 2 white onions, cut into wedges
  • 4 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

Method
 

  1. In a large sauté pan, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the stew meat and onion wedges and sear for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
  2. Transfer the seared meat and onions to a slow cooker. Add the pressed garlic, beef broth, coconut aminos, red wine vinegar, bay leaves, oregano, and thyme to the slow cooker. Stir everything together.
  3. Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-6 hours.
  4. Approximately 2 hours before the end of the cooking time, stir in the grape tomatoes.
  5. With 1 hour remaining, add the cauliflower florets and continue cooking until tender.
  6. Serve hot and refrigerate any leftovers for up to one week.

Notes

- For the most tender stew meat, ensure it's cut into uniform 1-inch cubes so it cooks evenly.
- If your slow cooker has a 'sear' function, use it directly in the pot to brown the meat and onions for extra depth of flavor.
- The internal temperature for fully cooked beef stew meat should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove.
