Red Wine Beef Stew

Red Wine Beef Stew Recipe

2 packages of lean beef stew meat (Trader Joe’s)

½ bag of cubed butternut squash (Trader Joe’s)

½ bag of asparagus, brussels sprouts, sugar snap peas (Trader Joe’s) – quarter the brussels sprouts

1 cup of baby carrots

1 cup of celery (chopped)

1 tbsp of garlic powder

2 tbsp of arrowroot powder

Black pepper to taste

1 yellow onion (diced)

2 cups of organic beef broth (Trader Joe’s)

2 cups of spicy red wine of choice (We used a 2008 Tres Ojos – Old Vines Garnacha Calatayud: Sounds a lot more expensive than it is)

Combine all the ingredients in a crock-pot (add the liquid last), and stir together. Set the crock-pot to low and cook for 8 hours. Paleo-friendly red wine makes any beef stew tastier.
