Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

  • The liquid will not cover the top of all the ingredients before cooking. Don’t worry, your stew will not dry out. It’s going to be awesome. Like you!
  • This stew will thicken up quite a bit the next day. If you prefer something with more broth, it is best to reheat with a splash vegetable juice or beef stock.
  • If you’re not doing a Whole30 round, you can sub in cornstarch for arrowroot powder.

  1. This is my new go-to pot roast! My husband and I love it! I’ve shared the recipe with all my adult kids, too!!5 stars

    • Pam, I’m so honored to be part of your family meal rotation! This recipe was inspired by the one my Nana used to make…but that one took all day simmering away. I’d like to think she would be impressed by how quickly this one comes together.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
