Sweet Potato Beef Stew Recipe Gluten Free

 My All-time Favorite Beef Stew

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...-15 degrees F. as I write this post on Monday night. Brrrrr. It was a good evening for Sweet Potato Stew!

The original stew recipe came from Jean at DelightfulRepast. As you probably know by now, Jean can be counted on to have delectable recipes highlighted by gorgeous photography. When I first made her recipe for beef stew, I realized that I hadn't before known that beef stew could be so delicious! Be sure to visit her site. You won't be sorry. I recommend her ice creams too, but probably not when it's -15 F.

If you check out her recipe for beef stew, you will see that I tweaked it quite a bit for my own personal preference in vegetables and my own level of laziness, i.e. wanting to make it as simple as possible.

So here it is, my version of beef stew.

My Favorite [Sweet Potato] Beef Stew Recipe, Gluten Free:

2 pounds sirloin, diced (or chopped fine)

1 clove garlic, minced

3 T. olive oil

In a large skillet, brown the sirloin and garlic in the olive oil.

Then stir in the following chopped or diced veggies (I like everything cut into smaller pieces. It's just a personal preference.)

     1 onion, peeled and chopped

     2 med-large sweet potatoes, pared and chopped
     2 large parsnips, pared and diced

     about a cup of chopped celery

In a separate bowl, stir together the following:

     1 c. GF chicken broth (Pacific brand free-range organic)

     1/3 c. red wine

     2 t. Worcestershire sauce

     2 T. tomato paste

     1/2 t. marjoram

     salt & coarse pepper

Place the mixture of beef and veggies into a CrockPot.

Pour the sauce over it and stir.

Turn the CrockPot to Low and cook for about 8 hours.

Go find something else to do. This is so easy, you're going to love it.

Serve with a green salad and a little dark chocolate for dessert.

Hershey's does not qualify as 'dark chocolate,' by the way.  You'll need a bite of Ritter Sport or some German brand we pick up at Aldi.(s)

This sweet potato beef stew is the perfect wintertime comfort food when the weather outside is frightful.
