Instructions
Peel and thoroughly rinse your parsnips, carrots, onions, and potatoes.
Cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces.
Cut your beef into 1-1/2 inch cubes.
Season beef cubes well with smoked paprika, sea salt and pepper, then dredge the beef into the flour (or Arrowroot powder) pressing a bit to ensure a good hold.
Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in beef cubes along with any excess flour and cook until nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set browned beef aside on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil into the same pan and heat. Add in your onions, celery, carrots, and garlic then sauté until slightly golden, for about 3 minutes.
Stir in coconut aminos and wine, then simmer until liquid is slightly cooked off.
Place the beef back into your pot. Pour in broth and add potatoes and parsnips, then give it all a good stir.
Stovetop method:
Reduce heat to low, cover and let it simmer on your stovetop for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Oven method:
You may choose to place your Dutch oven in the oven instead of the stovetop using the oven method:
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cover your pot with an oven-safe lid and cook for an hour or so until veggies and meat are super fork tender.
Crock-pot/Slow Cooker method:
After following above instructions to prepare & brown the meat, and sauté veggies, then add everything (all ingredients including scraped brown bits from saute pan) into your slow cooker, then give it all a good stir. I recommend cooking on LOW for 8-10 hours for best flavor.
Instant Pot method:
After following above instructions to cut and flour your meat and prepare vegetables then, add 1 Tablespoon of oil to the instant pot and turn on the saute function. When the oil starts to sizzle add your prepared meat.
Cook the meat until browned on all sides.
Set browned beef aside on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil into the pot and heat. Add in your onions, celery, carrots, and garlic then sauté until slightly golden, for about 3 minutes.
Stir in coconut aminos and wine, then simmer until liquid is slightly cooked off.
Place the beef back into your pot. Pour in broth and add potatoes and parsnips, then give it all a good stir, and use a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Close the lid and steam valve on your instant pot.
Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before doing a quick release.
To serve:
Transfer your stew into bowls, garnish with parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
Store your stew in air-tight containers. You can refrigerate up to 3-4 days and freeze it for up to 3 months, just heat it through when ready to serve.
