This hearty grass-fed beef stew is a simple, nutrient-dense classic built around tender stew meat and slow-simmered vegetables. Browning the beef first creates depth of flavor, while a gentle simmer allows the meat to become fork-tender and rich. Ideal for batch cooking, freezer planning, and practical weeknight meals, this stew delivers real nourishment from quality 100% grass-fed beef.
