Hearty Middle Eastern Beef Stew with Bone Broth

Paleo * Whole 30 * GAPS 

I know that there are a lot of beef stew recipes out there, but you will not regret giving this one a try! Bone broth is used as a base stock to truly increase the nutritional benefits and mineral content, and the spices are warming and so flavorful! This stew is delicious, gut healing and mineralizing. I served this to my very large extended family recently and all ages loved it!

This recipe is so incredibly simple and requires very little preparation time.  It freezes well and I freeze it in 16 oz containers to bring out for quick lunches.
