Beef Stew

This is a recipe that I came up with while learning the ins and outs of the AIP diet. It's a simple concoction that my son loves, and I can make in bulk for him to have when he gets hungry.
It's also one of my husband's favorites. I love it's simplicity and the warmth that it brings to our table.   
Sometimes I serve it as is, but it also goes great with a simple salad and some fresh out of the oven plantain flat bread.


Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 4 to 8 hours

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs stew meat

2 cups carrots chopped
2 cups celery chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic minced
2 tsp rosemary
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp salt
6 to 8 cups water
Instructions:
Put all the ingredients into a crock pot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hrs,
or cook on the stove top in a large pot by placing all ingredients into the pot, and bringing to a gentle boil. Then reduce to a low heat and simmer for 4 hrs. Once stew is done cooking take the beef out, pull it apart and then stir the shredded pieces back into the pot. Enjoy.
