Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound grassfed beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

- In the same pot, saute the carrot, onion, celery, and garlic for about 3 minutes.
- Add the parsnips and mushrooms and saute for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to release their moisture.

- Return meat to the pot and add more salt and pepper to taste and marjoram.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and place lid on pot. Simmer for 1 hour.
- If stew is very dry after an hour of simmering, add up to one cup of water.
