My Mom's Beef

First of all...my Mom is the BEST cook in the whole world.  Not only does she cook and bake, but she keeps our meals Paleo for the sake of our family's health.

This post is dedicated to my Mom.  She is a selfless person that goes out of her way for her children's and grandchildren's needs.  My Mom works full time, but comes home and cooks dinner almost every night after a day of work.  She loves us all unconditionally, never passes judgement and is there for anything that we need.  She is truly the most amazing woman I have ever met.  I only hope to grow up to be half the woman that my Mom is.

Mom's Stew
3lbs Chuck Steak (cut into stew sized pieces)
1 cup almond flour (or not, totally up to you)
1+ tsp parsley
1+ tsp sage
1+ tsp rosemary
1+ tsp thyme (believe it or not these herbs became part of the stew based on a Simon and Garfunkel song)
vegetables (today was carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, zucchini)
1 22oz bottle Double Black IPA

In a zip lock back shake the chuck steak with the almond flour, parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme.  Brown in a Dutch Oven or large skillet.  Pour beer over meat.  Add water until meat is covered.  Simmer ingredients in covered pan for 1 - 1.5 hours (depending upon amount of meat).  For last 45 minutes add veggies.  Add zucchini in the last 20 minutes.

NOTE:  Almond Flour and herb amounts are all approximate.  It depends upon how much meat you have to coat.  There should be enough herbs in the almond flour mixture for them to be visible throughout the bag.
