Ingredients:
- 2 Pounds Organic Grass Fed Stew Beef
- 1 Large Sweet Onion – Diced
- 2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Cracked Black Pepper to Taste
- 1 TBSP Vegan Butter (I use Melt brand)
- 2 1 Ounce Packets “Simply Organic” Brand Brown Gravy Packets

Instructions:
- In a large pot, add the olive oil and onion – cook on medium heat.
- Open the stew beef and add all meat to the pot.
- Season with salt, garlic powder and pepper. Add the vegan butter. Stir to cook all sides.
- While the meat is cooking, pour 2 cups of water into a small saucepan. Add both gravy packets and stir gently with a whisk until dissolved. Keep on low and stir occasionally until comes to a boil.
- Allow gravy to simmer about 1 minute to desired thickness/consistency.
- Once meat is browned on all sides, transfer contents to the crockpot. Pour the gravy over the meat and stir until meat is covered with gravy. Place lid on crockpot.
- Allow to cook on low for 8 hours.
- Once meat is ready, prepare egg noodles according to package instructions.
- Serve over Gluten Free egg noodles.
- Option for Thicker Sauce: Mix 1 TBSP organic corn starch or arrowroot with ¼ cup water. Add into beef mixture after it’s done cooking.
- Noodle Alternative: Spiralize zucchini or use a peeler for ribbon type zucchini noodles.
