Secret Ingredient Beef Stew – Instant Pot, 2 for 1

December 13, 2017 By Angie 2 Comments

A beef stew is a great thing and this one is no exception. The infusion is simple - just a star anise and some orange zest - but just wait 'til you taste it! An Instant Pot 2-in-1 meal.

A beef stew is a great thing and this one is no exception. The secret here is simple – star anise, orange zest and pumpkin – but wait ’til you taste it! Just slurp the liquids down as a first course – there’s no need for thickeners: this is an Instant Pot two-in-one, quick-as-a-flash wonder. Then serve the beef as your main.

Beef Stew with Orange and Star Anice – Low FODMAP

A beef stew is a great thing and this one is no exception. The infusion is simple - just a star anise and some orange zest - but just wait 'til you taste it! An Instant Pot 2-in-1 meal.

We eat a lot of beef stew. It’s too easy, especially with the Instant Pot, that glorious gadget of which we’re raving fans. We buy our beef from a local organic farm – it’s hard to find pasture-raised here in the Veneto. Every two months, I receive an sms from Davide: “Your beef’ll be ready next Thursday. Drop ’round between 3 and 7.” The pack weighs around 10 kilos, and all the various cuts are vacuum sealed: Osso Buco, Fiorentina, Tagliata, Arrosto, Macinato. There’s always Spezzatino – stewing steak, and other largish pieces that are labelled as ‘good for boiling’. We’ve actually found that even those less precious pieces are fine for a roast – but in the colder months, what’s better than a stew?

As you’ll know if you’ve been following for a while, our house is allium free. No onion, no garlic, no leeks – they tip my gut bacteria over the edge and I’m better off without them. Chives seem to be okay, but they’re a summer thing. Interestingly enough, I don’t miss the flavour of the alliums, and would go so far as to say that as a staple ingredient of broths, stocks, soups and stews, they’re largely overrated.

All you need is one or two other ingredients that pack a punch. So, in my Bone Broth recipe, for example, there are dried porcini mushrooms. My favourite way with pork medallions is to cook it with loads of lemon and sage. In this beef stew, star anice and orange zest are the secret ingredients that turn a simple beef stew into something festive and a little exotic. The pumpkin is also a surprise. It thickens the liquids slightly, and the resulting soup is lovely.

A beef stew is a great thing and this one is no exception. The infusion is simple - just a star anise and some orange zest - but just wait 'til you taste it! An Instant Pot 2-in-1 meal.

For the photo’s here, I’ve obviously just ladeled it all  – soup and stew – into the bowl. Too hard to do two lots of photos – or to fit two bowls into the one shot, for that matter. And I’m all about simplicity. But you get the idea: soup as first course. Then fall-apart beef chunks, served, I’d suggest, alongside a mixed mash of cauliflower, carrot and fennel. Or, a crisp green salad could be just the thing, especially after the soup has warmed you through to the bone.


Instant Pot Wonders

How to Make a Great Bone Broth – I make this once a week during autumn and winter. I use it as a stock for soups and stews, and for steam-sauteéing vegetables.

Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage – Another 2-in-1 dish, soup and main. It’s fresh and fragrant – let your sage bush grow wild!

Sticky Pork Ribs with Dissolved Apple and Prunes – An all-time, finger-licking good favourite. Worth staying in for!

    Is the pumpkin a pumpkin puree or freshly diced pumpkin?

      Hi Katie, It’s freshly diced pumpkin. It turns into a puree in the Instant Pot! Best, Angie

🔸 Steering Women away from Physical Meltdown and towards a Quality Life
🔸 Nutrition, Inflammation, Yoga & Meditation

F* Off Inflammation. Forever. Many of us will tell F* Off Inflammation. Forever. Many of us will tell you this: you’ve got to get to the point where you’re angry - with yourself, with your body, with the pain, with all the health professionals who can’t tell you what’s going on, with that long list of side effects that comes with your anti inflammatories & painkillers.

You get angry & you start researching & you discover all these people who have had the same issues & who - amazingly - have resolved them or contained them or reversed them through diet & lifestyle choices. That is, through eliminating inflammatory foods &  behaviors & substituting them with nutritious foods & healing practices.

Lo & behold, they say. It works... & it’s simple.

🙋🏻‍♀️If you’re fed up, pissed off, can’t deal with it any more - reach out, get in touch. If digestion, inflammation, chronic pain & anxiety are your issues, then I know where  you’re at. I’m a Primal Health Coach, the ancestral health model put me back on track, & helping women avoid unnecessary suffering & get their groove back makes me happy. Which is an understatement.

3 Seed Paleo Bread. Save this post - the recipe is 3 Seed Paleo Bread. Save this post - the recipe is up on the home page of my website at the moment. Later, find it under “Recipes”.

🥑🥚We love this for toast on the weekend, with a boiled egg and slices of avocado..
🍞When I bake a loaf, I slice it, wrap it and put it in the freezer.

💪 This is important. Because Paleo breads, pancakes, cakes, cookies & muffins should never be a substitute for your old way of eating. They should be an occasional treat. Most of your calories, most of the time, should be filled with nutrition & low carb. Paleo baked goods then become a delightful deviation - but not the norm.

Enjoy this recipe & when you bake it & make it, tag me! It’s what I used to make the croutons for the Caesar Salad a few posts back.

“I can’t keep going on like this.” I can’t “I can’t keep going on like this.” I can’t tell you how good it is for me to hear someone say this when they call me for health coaching. Because I know where they’re at: I’ve been there. And because I know that their situation is about to get a whole lot better.

Within a very short time they’re going to feel lighter - not just physically, but mentally, emotionally. They’re going to feel nurtured - not just because their body is going to receive deep nutrition, but also because they’re going to feel supported as they make significant changes. They’re going to feel energized as their metabolism shifts gear. They’re going to feel incredible as pain and issues that they’ve been living with for eons melt away.

When a woman calls me saying, “I’m not living. I’m ready to do what it takes”, I can’t wait to start.

If this is sounding like you - you’ve had enough & you’re ready to take the bill by the horns, get in touch. Let’s get coaching, let’s get your health back, quickly, naturally, forever.

I just made a Reel! First time, thus not a very go I just made a Reel! First time, thus not a very good one. Like everything: you’ve got to practice.

In my first year of healing (2014-15) I did a Reset 4 times. Food is complicated. It’s so obviously not so much about nutrition as it is about addiction, emotions, habits. About how we identify ourselves and how we define happiness, togetherness, family, ritual, reward.

Takes a long time to reprogram all that. But you keep practicing. It gets easier. And then at some point the new way of doing things becomes natural, normal, the new you.

For me, it’s worth it - to not be dependent on pharmaceuticals & painkillers. To not be paying health professionals of all kinds every week. To be managing my situation through food & lifestyle choices. To feel strong.

If you need help setting up a new Heath practice & sticking to it until you get there - get in touch. I was at the point where I said, “I’ve got nothing to lose.” If you’re at that point, I can tell you - nothing to lose, and a lot to gain. 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

Caesar Salad! How good is it? Boiled egg, anchovie Caesar Salad! How good is it? Boiled egg, anchovies, shards of aged parmigiano, bacon cubes and croutons fried in the bacon fat. Perfectly, wonderfully balanced.

I made my 3-Seed Paleo loaf the day before so it was ready for the croutons. And we don’t have cos lettuce here so I used Belgium Endive. It was great. One of those dishes that when you make it, you think, why don’t I make this more often?

I adapted the recipe from Stephanie Alexander’s “The Cook’s Companion”.

This is how I made the dressing:

🥄 1 teaspoon salt
🥄 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
🥄 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
🥄 1 teaspoon lemon juice
🥄 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
🥄 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 egg

1. Mix all ingredients together in a screw top jar. Shake well and set aside.

Fabulous. Try it!

All dietary fats have received a lot of bad press All dietary fats have received a lot of bad press over the last 70 years... but they're making a comeback. The good ones, that is. The evil ones should be abolished for life. Do you know the different families?

	🍳	Saturated fats are an excellent source of fat, especially for cooking
	🥑	Monounsaturated fats are a great source of fat
	🥐	Polyunsaturated fats are difficult
	🍟	Trans fats, or “partially hydrogenated fats”, are poison...

🥑🥥 Healthy fats are super satisfying. They taste good and, together with complete, quality protein, they provide the feeling of satiety. With the right amount of fat in our meals we feel full for a long time, which means we’re less likely to go hunting for unhealthy snacks.

💎 If you want to read more about the fat families and what foods contain them, the post is up on the home page of my website now. Jump to my bio, click through & scroll down. Or, it’s here:
