This meal is hearty, healthy, and hella good. Simply toss everything in a slow cooker and let it go. Of course, it’s gluten-free and a great Mediterranean Diet dish.

Ingredients:

• A pound of beef stew meat
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery sticks, chopped
• 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• Sliced mushrooms
• Ground black pepper
• Celtic sea salt
• Lawry’s seasoning salt
•  Thyme
• Parsley
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 2 to 3 cups of beef broth
• 1 cup of apple juice
• 2 tbsps of apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup of gluten-free flour

Directions:

Put the vegetables, seasonings, and beef in a crockpot. Cook on high for 4 hours or cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

About 15 minutes before it’s done, take a cup of liquid and pour it into a bowl. Add about 1/4 cup of flour, adding a teaspoon at a time and stirring as you go.  Pour the mixture into the beef stew and combine. This will thicken the stew.

I hope you enjoy and stay blessed.
