Servings: 6
- 2 lb. stew meat
- 2 tbsp olive oil or more if needed
- salt and pepper
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 cups baby carrots whole or chopped
- 6 garlic cloves chopped
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 64 oz. beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 russet potatoes peeled and diced
Season the beef with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat, then add the beef and pan-sear it for 8 minutes; use a slotted spoon to remove the beef and set it aside.
Next, add the remaining olive oil, onions, carrots, and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes; then, add the tomato paste, salt and oregano and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the beef back into the pot, then pour in the broth, water, coconut aminos and bay leaves and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and simmer until the beef is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Last, add the potatoes, bring the soup back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
Distribute into bowls, add more salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
