Cinnamon Sweet Potato Beef Stew

This time of year, I can't get enough of warming soups and stews, especially when they're as easy to make as this Cinnamon Sweet Potato Beef Stew. Adapted from my grandmother's recipe, this lighter, healthier version is made with bone broth, providing the collagen pregnant and postpartum mamas need. Using 100% grass-fed beef ensures you get anti-inflammatory, brain-boosting omega-3 fats. Don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients; this one-pot meal is incredibly easy and perfect for busy weekdays. Enjoy!

  • 1 pound grass-fed chuck steak, ask butcher to cube and trim off fat for you
  • 2 large carrots, cut into 1/4” thick rounds
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, largely diced
  • 1 cup pitted prunes
  • 1 large orange, peeled and diced

PREPARATION

  • Combine all ingredients, except parsley, in your slow cooker and mix well, making sure vegetables and meat are completely submerged.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours (the beauty of slow cookers is that they’re so forgiving, no need to stress about timing – make it work for your schedule).
