Ingredients:

  • you''ll need a crockpot that''s at least 4 quart capacity.
  • 1-1 & 1/2 lb beef stew meat (or a nice cut of meat that you''ve
  • 2 cinnamon sticks (mine were about 3-4' long)
  • 2 bay leaves ( i used 1 big and 1 small)
  • 1 & 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp allspice (i added a couple more pinches later on)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (no......i swear stew won''tsp be spicy serving time)
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt (i''m not a salt eater so i started with 1 tbsp, then added more later)
  • 6 cups beef stock (can use broth , bouillon cubes & water , etc)
  • 1 & 1/2 cups baby carrots
  • 2-3 medium sized potatoes (washed &) chunked into bite size pieces-peeled if you wish
  • 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes (washed &) chunked into bite size pieces-peeled if you wish
  • (add-ins i plan to try: quinoa, parsnips, mushrooms, zucchini, cabbage & maybe a little turnip)

Directions:

  1. I cut the stewing meat pieces in half (so it looks like I have more meat) and doused them with flour to help thicken this a little. Put the meat into crockpot. (If you’re using frozen meat, it's fine, just know it’ll take longer to cook and get tender).
  2. Add the broth, veggies and spices-float the bay leaf(s) on top along with cinnamon sticks.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 5-6 hours).
  4. This stew actually tastes better when you cook it long and slooow.
  5. I serve this over a bowl of extra wide (cooked) egg noodles. It's not quite as thick as a beef stew (still working on that) but the flavor (and smell) is amazing.
