Rosemary Rutabaga Beef Stew

by | May 25, 2018 | Entrées, Gluten-Free

This Rosemary Rutabaga Beef Stew is nourishing, comforting, and full of hearty root veggies. Plus, it’s less than 10 ingredients!

It was bright, sunny, and nearly 30C today but I really wanted a beef stew. So, this Rosemary Rutabaga Beef Stew is what I made for dinner!

I’m not sure how many times I’ve mentioned this, but I really, really like keeping my meals simple. And by simple I mean 10 ingredients or less is ideal. I don’t like following recipes that use 25 different spices and 40 different preparation steps, so I try not to share recipes like that with the assumption that there are people out there (maybe you?) who feel the same way.

So for me, anytime I think up a recipe I want to make, my immediate thought is, “how can I make this with as few ingredients as possible, but still have it taste super good?

And while using very few ingredients sometimes just doesn’t work, sometimes it does! Like with this Rosemary Rutabaga & Beef Stew.

  3. Add meat and rosemary and cook until browned.

  4. Add cooked meat to pot with vegetables and let cook, about 30 minutes.
