PALEO BEEF AND SWEET POTATO STEW



Paleo Beef and Sweet Potato Stew image

Classic beef stew is loaded with protein and vegetables, but it is also normally made with potatoes and flour. To make it paleo-friendly, thicken the stew with pureed sweet potatoes and cashew butter. This gluten- and dairy-free rendition of beef stew tastes just as good as the classic recipe and packs in even more nutrients.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ounces sweet potatoes, halved lengthwise
4 fresh sage leaves
2 sprigs thyme
1 sprig rosemary
4 pieces uncured, nitrate-free bacon, cut across in 1/4-inch strips
1 1/2 pounds stewing beef, cut into 2-inch chunks
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups unsalted chicken broth
2 cups 1-inch diced onions
1 cup 1-inch sliced carrots
1 cup 1-inch sliced celery
1 tablespoon tomato paste
5 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons cashew butter
Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Poke holes in the sweet potato halves with a fork. Place on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet and bake until fork tender, about 1 hour. Alternatively, microwave on high until the flesh is fork tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • Tie the sage, thyme and rosemary sprigs together with kitchen twine or a clean rubber band and set aside.
  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and cook the bacon, stirring often, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings.
  • Pat the beef dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the Dutch oven to the stovetop on medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the meat on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broth, onions, carrots, celery, tomato paste, garlic and herb bundle. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour on low heat.
  • Uncover and cook at a low simmer until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through, 45 minutes.
  • Scoop out the flesh from the cooked sweet potatoes and place in a blender. Carefully add 1 cup of the stewing liquid and the cashew butter to the blender, then puree until smooth. Add the puree to the stew and stir well. Simmer to thicken, 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Remove the herb bundle and serve the stew garnished with the bacon bits and parsley leaves.

Family meals: Easy beef stew with sweet potato topping image

Perfect for the whole family, this freezable pie makes a great meal for toddlers and teens alike and has plenty of hidden veg

Provided by Caroline Hire - Food writer

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h45m

Yield Serves a family of 4 - 6 or makes 6-8 toddler meals

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely diced (about 130g)
1-2 sticks celery, finely diced (about 130g)
2 fat cloves garlic, crushed
400-500g braising steak
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 low-salt beef stock cube
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 x 25g pack parsley, stalks and leaves finely chopped separately
1kg sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
knob of butter
handful grated cheddar

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based pan. Add the onions and cook for 2 mins, then add the carrot and celery and cook until softened. Add a little water if the mixture sticks.
  • Add the braising steak and cook until browned, then stir in the garlic and cinnamon and cook for a further 1 - 2 mins until the aromas are released.
  • Add the stock cube to 500ml boiling water and stir into the meat, along with the tomato purée and parsley stalks. Bring to the boil and simmer covered for 1 hour, then take off the lid and simmer for another hour or until the meat is very tender. Stir in the chopped parsley leaves.
  • Transfer the stew into a medium-sized ceramic dish (that would be big enough for four adults), or into 6 - 8 large ramekins for make-ahead toddler portions.
  • Meanwhile, steam or boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Drain the potatoes well and mash with the butter. Spoon on top of the meat, sprinkle with the cheese and cook on the top shelf for around 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  • Alternatively, cover and freeze the pie or mini pies for another time. Defrost thoroughly before cooking - you can do this by leaving it in the fridge overnight if you like. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6 and cook for around 30 - 35 mins or until golden, bubbling and hot throughout.

TSIMMES (BEEF, CARROT AND SWEET POTATO STEW)



Tsimmes (Beef, Carrot and Sweet Potato Stew) image

Tsimmes is a medieval German Jewish holiday beef stew that spread with the Jews to Eastern Europe. It was originally made with carrots and turnips, then when potatoes came to the Old World, they were added. When the dish came to the New World, sweet potatoes often replaces the white potatoes. Now I've tweaked it to my taste: I substitute the yellow yams or sweet potatoes with the white Japanese sweet potatoes that I love. I use flanken, a cut of short ribs found at kosher butchers, but any cut of short ribs will do, as will beef stew meat. I keep the bones in for flavor - and add a bay leaf for the same reason - and, rather than skimming the fat as it cooks, I simply put the stew pot in the refrigerator overnight so I can easily remove the hardened fat the next day. (A generation or two before me, cooks would have saved that fat for cooking and baking.) Instead of adding a little matzo meal to thicken the broth, I find no need for that, especially if I reduce the sauce a little before serving. I add pitted prunes, which are sweet enough to eliminate the need for brown sugar or honey and, at the end, I add parsley for color.

Categories     dinner, meat, soups and stews, vegetables, main course

Time 11h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 bone-in flanken, also known as flanken-style ribs, or English-cut short ribs (about 3 pounds)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 fresh (or dried) bay leaf
3 pounds sweet potatoes, preferably Japanese white sweet potatoes (3 to 4 large sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 medium white or yellow onions, halved and sliced
5 to 6 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch segments
8 ounces prunes, pitted and left whole
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • A day before serving, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Season the meat with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
  • Put the meat and the bay leaf in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot, and add enough water to cover (about 8 cups). Bake, covered, for about an hour, then remove from heat, let cool and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, the fat will have congealed on top; using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the layer of fat.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and prunes to the meat, and stir to combine. Bake, covered, for another hour, then remove the lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked, the meat is tender and the water is reduced, another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Season to taste. If there is more broth than you'd like, ladle some out and save for another use. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes. This will add color and flavor to your stew. Some good options include orange, purple, and white sweet potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew.
  • Add some herbs and spices to your stew. This will help to enhance the flavor. Some good options include garlic, onion, cumin, and paprika.
  • Serve your stew with a side of bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

This beef and sweet potato stew is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this stew a try.
