The Slow Cooker is an amazing phenomenon in my opinion. Even some of my guy friends who aren’t big cookers use it! Throw all the ingredients in with the right flavor combo and BOOM, perfect stew.

This stew is: hearty, flavorful, tender melt-in-your-mouth beef, and packed with veggies! It is also paleo-friendly, dairy-free, whole30 compliant and has no sugar added… does it get any better than that?

I love beef stew. It’s the perfect dish to warm your belly on a cool fall or winter day. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! This looks great. If I don’t have a slow cooker, can this be made in a Dutch oven? If so, would cooking instructions/times change? Thank you!
I love beef stew, it always screams comfort and fall to me! I’ve never added mushrooms, I’ll have to give this one a try 🙂
Pure comfort in a bowl, this is awesome!
Those chucks of beef are mesmerising. This looks delicious- anything with beef in a slow cooker is perfection.
Wow, that sounded pretty PG13.
Hahaha.
Made this beef stew tonight for the third time! This is THE BEST paleo beef stew recipe 🙂
So happy you love!
Pleasantly surprised with this recipe. Was worried I’d miss the potatoes but it’s still very hearty. I had to sub Paprika with Smoked Paprika and luckily it worked out! Will definitely make again!
Getting ready to make this for the first time. How many calories are we talking?
This was easy to put together. It was delicious and my family loved it!
Glad it was a hit, Jen!
