Hey Jacqueline…it’s an S meal 🙂
Hi! Would it be possible to just finish cooking the entire stew in a dutch oven after browning the beef in it? I’m thinking yes, but I would be a guess as to how to finish it off. The stove on low or the oven on something like 300?
Thanks so much! 🙂
I have a question. Does grass fed stew meat cook quicker than regular? I always cook my stew meat for 8 hours and even then it can be tough. Am I overcooking it or is it just bad meat??
Hey Shannon…Thanks so much for your feedback! Here is an article that might help with your question! http://www.kolfoods.com/grass-fed-cooking-tips.asp

Wow! I just made this as our first THM meal along with the biscuits that were suggested. My husband and I really enjoyed these recipes! The meat was so tender and flavorful from the red wine. And the biscuits. Oh my word. Even our 5 year old loved them with a little butter and some strawberry preserves. They’re the first GF bread type product that I actually enjoyed. The flavor was really nice (we omitted the cheese) and texture reminded me of cornbread. These recipes are going on my list to make again! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it Chessa!
