It isn’t officially fall until you bring out the crock pot.  At least that’s my belief.  Have I mentioned I love fall?  I do…a lot.  And I really love the idea of throwing a bunch of ingredients into a pot, letting it sit all day, and wah lah! Dinner is served.

This crock pot beef stew came out dee-licious.  Since it was the weekend, I decided to throw in some potatoes.  This means it’s not technically primal or paleo, but on Saturdays and Sundays I let myself eat some potatoes!  If you want to make a primal version just remove the potatoes or sub in sweet potatoes…I bet that would be yummy!

Crock Pot Beef Stew

• 2 lbs Grass Fed Stew Meat
• 2.5 cups Beef Broth (low sodium)
• 6 ounce can Organic Tomato Paste
• .5 cup Red Wine
• 2 cups Organic Baby Carrots
• 1 Yellow Onion Chopped
• 2 Parsnips Chopped
• 8-10 Baby Potatoes
• 2 sprigs Rosemary
• 3 Garlic Gloves
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 Bay Leaf

After you chop the onions and parsnips, throw everything in the crock pot.  Cook on high for 7-8 hours.  The perfect fall beef stew!  We also dunked some Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread from Brittany at RealSustenance.com in the stew which was perfect.
