Crockpot Steak Stew

I don’t know about you but this time of year I’m a big fan of stews, and soups, especially ones that I can throw in the crockpot first thing in the morning and then enjoy that evening. Oh and the amazing smell it fills the house with…

We eat a lot of beef (which you probably already knew lol) but I love to find new ways to enjoy beef vs. the traditional steak and potatoes - which I love but I also like a little variety.

1-2 lbs Chuck Steak or Stew Meat (cut into small bite size pieces).

1/3 Chopped Onion

1 tsp parsley

Place all of the ingredients into your slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Benefits of 100% Grass-Fed Beef

What’s the difference between grass-fed and grain finished beef? It’s actually very simple, 100% grass fed cows are fed grass and only grass their whole life. This can take the form of pasture grazing of course and winter hay. Grain-finished cows are just that, finished on a grain ration often in a feedlot setting.

So how does the feeding effect how the meat turns out? This too is quite simple. Grass-fed beef is much leaner and has overall less fat than conventional grain-finished beef.

Our cattle are raised and finished on 100% grass. Here are 5 benefits to Grass-Fed Beef:

1. Grass-Fed Beef is lower in Calories. Because grass fed beef is leaner and has less overall fat it is also lower in calories than conventional beef.

2. Grass-Fed Beef is a Nutritional Powerhouse. It’s a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and of course protein.

3. No Hormones or Unnecessary Antibiotics. Our grass-fed beef is free of hormones and we never use any unnecessary antibiotics.

4. Vitamins. Grass-fed beef has been shown to contain the precursors to the important immune vitamins A and E4.

5. Efficiency. Cows are one of the most efficient converts of sun energy on earth. By eating grass they naturally convert sun energy into nutrient-dense protein and fat.
