One Pot Recipe: Easy Healthy Beef Stew with Veggies

What's easier than a one pot meal? I'm a busy mom. In fact, we just added a newborn baby girl to our family. So, between hourly feedings and diaper changes and the 3 other kids as well, I don't have a whole lot of time for meal prep. Tonight's dinner was a good example of a quick and easy meal that takes minutes, only uses one pot, and you can leave it simmering while you tend to your family. And, even with a large family, you should have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Ingredients:

Beef Stew Meat (1-2 pounds)
1 tablespoon Coconut oil
1 teaspoon chopped Garlic
1 bunch of chopped green onions
Sea Salt (to taste)
Organic Italian Seasoning (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
32 oz Beef Broth
Water (to taste, depending on how salty you want the broth)
2 Organic Potatoes
6 Organic Carrots
2 Organic Rutabagas
1 bunch of Organic Collard Greens
1 bunch of Organic Mustard Greens
1 head of Organic Bok Choy
4-6 Organic Brussel Sprouts, chopped

In a large stock pot, add your coconut oil, chopped garlic, chopped green onion and stew meat. Brown the meat and stir often. Then start chopping your other veggies while the meat is cooking. Toss all your veggies into the pot and add the beef broth and water (if desired). Add your seasonings and stir. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!
