Cooking Instructions

1. Heat up the oil

Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in finely chopped onions and a sprinkle of thyme (fresh or dried, your call). Cook until the onions are soft and fragrant.

2. Brown the beef

Add the 500g of extra lean beef to the pot. Stir it occasionally, making sure the beef is browned on all sides.

3. Cook the Mushrooms

Slice up the 100g of brown mushrooms and toss them into the pot. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften. (If you’ve got other mushrooms lying around, throw them in—why not?)

4. Add bone broth and tomatoes

Pour in 1 cup of Nutra Nourished Bone Broth and 1/2 can of crushed tomatoes. Stir everything together until it’s nicely combined.

5. Season and Simmer

Add salt and pepper to taste. If you’re feeling extra herb-y, toss in some more thyme. (Don’t be afraid to go a little wild with the seasonings.)

6. Simmer to perfection

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 1.5 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure everything is cooking evenly. 

7. Serve and enjoy

Once the stew thickens and the flavors have melded together, serve it hot with a side of rice or whatever your heart desires. 

 

A hearty meal perfect for the holidays (even if it’s not technically winter where you are)! Whether you're celebrating the season with family or just need a comforting dish after a busy day, this Hearty Beef and Mushroom Stew is sure to hit the spot. And don’t forget—this one’s packed with all the good stuff, like the immune-boosting benefits of bone broth!
