    Slow Cooker Beef And Sweet Potato Stew

    This beef and sweet potato stew will leave you feeling full and satisfied without overloading you with carbohydrates. The recipe is well-balanced and loaded with nutrients to help keep you feeling satisfied for hours.

    If you're looking for the perfect sides, we recommend a simple sauté of green beans or roasted broccoli. It can be served with a paleo-friendly cracker or bread for dipping into the rich sauce.

    Ingredients

    Serves: 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 8 hours 20 minutes

    • 1 lb beef chuck roast
    • 3 cups sweet potatoes
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • Allspice
    • Bay leaf
    • 1 cinnamon stick
    • 1 large onion
    • 1 can (28 oz) tomatoes
    • 8 dried apricots
    • Fresh parsley
    • Cooking fat
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    How to Make Slow-Cooker Beef And Sweet Potato Stew

    Cut the beef roast into 1" cubes, and then season with salt and pepper. If desired, you can add additional seasonings. Then, melt the cooking fat in a skillet over medium heat, and add the beef. Brown this for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove and add to the slow cooker.

    To the beef in the slow cooker, add the sweet potatoes, garlic, cinnamon stick, onion, tomatoes, and allspice. Cook on low for 8 hours until the beef is fork tender.

    For added flavor, include dried apricots in the crock pot during the last 20 minutes of cooking. Cook on low, covered, for another 20 minutes until apricots are soft.

    Remove the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
