Dig into a Healthy Bowl of this Low Syn Beef and Sweet Potato Stew - a hearty filling winter warmer meal
There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of stew and this Beef and Sweet Potato Stew tastes delicious while still being really healthy.
A stew will always bring back childhood memories for me, as my mother and my grandmother would regularly have a pot of stew on the stove at least once a week. It was traditional to grab a mug of the broth on a cold winters day and sip away to warm yourself up.
Even now when I feel sick or cold I always get cravings for a mug of broth from a pot of stew.
Traditionally my mother and grandmother would use beef chuck bones in the stew and if you use the best quality from grass-fed cows, bone broth like this can have great gut healing properties, which is prob why it feels so healthy and comforting.
For my Beef and Sweet Potato Stew, I use just stewing beef, but if you can get your hand on some grass-fed beef on the bone (remember to remove any fatty bits) then this will be amazing.
Oxtails are another great thing to add to this, but they are hard to find lean unless you have a friendly butcher who will select the best cuts for you and remove all visible fat.
To be honest though, if you are going to use oxtails, I would enjoy them as they come and syn them rather than trying to remove all fat, where you will be left with hardly any meat on the bone. Oxtails are an amazing cut of meat for things like stews and well worth the syns.
If you don't fancy beef, you can evening use some stewing lamb in this dish. Both types of meat work perfectly along with all the other ingredients for a delicious hearty meal.
The sweet potato in this Beef and Sweet Potato Stew adds a subtle sweetness to the broth that I love, for an SP or an Original day you can swap that our for some butternut squash. It works perfectly and it still hearty and filling.

Do you own an Instant Pot ? Then this can also be cooked in an Instant Pot as well as stove top.
If you haven't heard of an Instant Pot you are seriously missing out. It is the best kitchen gadget I have purchased. I would even put it above my actifry and that's saying something. I love this thing so much, that I almost use it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
It seriously tops every kitchen appliance I have ever bought.
It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute's, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven't tried that yet).

There are already plenty of hearty speed vegetables in this Beef and Sweet Potato Stew, but if you want to increase them further, swap out the sweet potato for butternut squash or how about serving with this Cauliflower Mash
