This Whole30 Beef & Root Vegetable Stew is a variation of a stew that I have been making for years. And y’all, it. is. the. bomb. Delicious and comforting, this recipe is completely Whole30 and Paleo compliant but feels like a delectable indulgence. A perfect fall and winter meal!
Ingredients:
Beef Stew Meat: Quality definitely does make a difference when it comes to stew meat. I high recommend going for a grass-fed and grass-finished beef if it is available.
Root Vegetables: You will need about 3 1/2 to 4 cups of diced root vegetables for this. recipe. I like a nice mix of turnips, carrots and parsnips. If you’ve never had a parsnip they are kind of like a sweeter carrot which really compliments this stew replacing any sugar that might have been added.
Beef Broth: If you are doing Whole30 be sure to check those labels to make sure there isn’t any added sugar in your broth. You can also make your own beef bone broth by slow cooking beef bones with veggies and water for around 16 hours on low.
Garlic and Onions: Garlic and onions soak up all the delicious beef drippings after the initial sear, adding more depth of flavor to the stew.
Pantry Staples: You will also need Olive Oil, Coconut Aminos, Fish Sauce, Balsamic Vinegar, Bay Leaf, Salt & Pepper
Whole30 “Worcestershire Sauce”
Because the original version of this stew is one of my family’s favorites, I was determined to come up with a Whole30 compliant alternative that they would love just as much. My main challenge was figuring out a replacement for the Worcestershire sauce. After some experimentation, I found that a combination of coconut aminos, fish sauce and balsamic vinegar works perfectly. It is basically indistinguishable from Worcestershire sauce!
If you feel a little timid about using fish sauce you should know that Worcestershire sauce actually has anchovies in it, which gives it that umptiousness. Be sure to check your fish sauce labels for any added sugar. I highly recommend purchasing Red Boat Fish Sauce. It’s a little more expensive than some of your other options. But believe me when I tell you, it is a Whole30 game changer.

Serve with Whole30 Mashed Potatoes
This Whole30 beef and root vegetable stew is delicious on its own. However, I highly recommend serving it with some compliant mashed potatoes for a fabulous and filling meal that will have you forgetting your eating on program.
The way I like to make my potatoes is to peel them and boil them in salted water until soft. Then mash with ghee, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little full fat coconut milk for texture. My secret ingredient is to finish them with a little white truffle oil. The truffle oil masks any hint of coconuts from the coconut milk and gives the potatoes a delicious, earthy flavor. Yum!
