Cookware

chef's knife · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · small saucepan · stirring spoon · toaster (optional) · vegetable peeler

Directions

  1. Put flour, a pinch of salt, and some pepper in a bowl and mix.
  2. Toss the steak cubes in the flour mixture until coated on all sides.
  3. Rinse and dry the potatoes, carrots, celery, and green onions; dice the potatoes and carrots into even chunks, chop the celery, and mince the garlic.
  4. Warm a small saucepan over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with coconut oil.
  5. Brown the beef cubes in the oil, turning them to sear on all sides, about 3–4 minutes.
  6. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, green onions, and garlic to the pot; stir and cook briefly to release their aromas.
  7. Pour in the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10–15 minutes.
  8. Toast the bread slices until the edges are lightly crisped and ready for dipping.
  9. To serve, ladle the stew into bowls and accompany with the crusty bread; enjoy while hot.

Two tips

  • Prep the vegetables earlier in the day and cover them to keep fresh.
  • If you have leftover bread, toast and sprinkle with a little salt for a quick crouton topping.
