Grass-Fed Beef Stew with Root Vegetables: The Original Slow Food

  📦 Appears in: All Packs — Diced Beef (480g) 

Low effort, deeply nourishing, endlessly adaptable

There's a reason beef stew has survived every food trend of the past century. Diced beef — from the harder-working muscles of the animal — transforms through long, slow cooking into something extraordinary: fork-tender, deeply flavoured, and genuinely nourishing. Collagen-rich cuts like these also provide glycine, an amino acid important for gut health, sleep quality, and joint function.

The Recipe: Classic Grass-Fed Beef Stew

Ingredients:

•     480g Your Farmer diced beef

•     3 carrots, cut into chunky pieces

•     3 stalks celery, roughly chopped

•     2 onions, roughly diced

•     3 cloves garlic, minced

•     2 tbsp tomato paste

•     1 cup red wine

•     500ml beef stock

•     Fresh thyme and bay leaves

•     2 tbsp plain flour

•     Olive oil, salt and pepper

Method:

1.   Dust the diced beef in seasoned flour. Brown in batches in a heavy lidded pot — 3–4 minutes per side until well coloured. Remove and set aside.

2.   In the same pot, sauté the onion, carrot, and celery until softened, about 8 minutes.

3.   Add garlic and tomato paste, cook for 2 minutes.

4.   Add the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

5.   Return the beef. Add the stock and herbs. Bring to a bare simmer.

6.   Cover and cook on the lowest heat (or in a 150°C oven) for 2–2.5 hours until the beef is tender enough to break with a spoon.

7.   Season to taste. Serve over mashed potato or with crusty bread.
