Bacon-and-Cabbage-Beef-Stew-by-The-Nourished-Caveman2

We all need comfort sometimes!

Spring might be in the air….but it’s still freezing cold air!

The sky has been grey all day, but no sign of rain, just that dreary, flat grey, unfriendly sky. I have been outside working all day. We are building a new pond for my beloved ducks; which means lots of rock hauling, stacking, digging in concrete-hard dirt….All very good Primal workouts, sure bound to work up an appetite!

After such a grey cold day my body craves meaty, soupy, rich, warming fare: beef stew! The perfect combination to come out of a slow-cooker!

Slow-cooker and a freezer…a match made in heaven!

Since I got the new (used) slow cooker, making dinner for a busy day has become a lot easier.

The day before, if I know I will be really busy , I just take out a piece of meat from the freezer; I have a 1/2 pastured steer in there, plus a whole mutton, some venison,  and a few chickens, ALL straight from the farmer!.

Next I line up some veggies. Usually towards the end of the week veggies become scarce, as I shop on Saturdays at the Framers Market. One thing that seems to endure the week till the end is cabbage, as it does not wilt or spoil easily!

The healthiest food.

Did you know cabbage is one of the healthiest foods you can eat? Here are a few points to prove it:

  • Cabbage is an especially good source of sinigrin. (A cancer-preventive glucosinolate)
  • An excellent source of Vitamin K, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6
  • Good source of manganese and copper
  • Great source of fiber
  • Also contains: choline, phosphorus, vitamin B2, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, pantothenic acid, protein, and niacin.
  • Has been rated Excellent by “The world healthiest foods” website ()

If that was not enough, it is a very versatile vegetable, performing equally well from salads, to sautees, to soups and stews.

Just add some delicious bacony flavor, and a nice chunk of gress-finished beef to complete the picture, a perfect beef stew!

    Hello!
    Is there only one cup of broth used for this stew? I have it in the slow cooker now and it just seems like I should be adding additional liquid.

    Thanks –
    Jenn

      When I make it the cabbage seems to release quite a bit of liquid. Just play it by ear, if it seems too dry by all means add more broth! I also like it extra brothy!
      Let me know how it comes out!!

      • Jenn says:

        This turned out amazing!

        Not sure why my cabbage didn’t release as much liquid but a few more cups of broth did the trick.

        The kids, and by kids I mean a picky 16 year old and a 3 year old even pickier toddler liked it as well.

        We have added this recipe to the list and we’ll have it again very soon.

        Anything w/ cabbage though is a winner in my book, add in some onions and broth, even better!!

    Dear Nourished Caveman,

    I am wanting to make this but don’t own a crockpot. Would it be acceptable to make this on the stove top?

    Thank you so much,
    Johnnie

      Hey Johnnie!
      I would make it in a Dutch Oven if you have one, and if not, just use the heaviest bottom pot you have and cook it on a really slow flame for about the same time as is says in the recipe. Check it regularly, as it might be ready before! 🙂

    Hi there, this looks fabulous! I’m making this tonight! Just one question: you say one “clove” of garlic. That seems a bit scant. Did you mean one “bulb”?

    Thanks,

    Scott

      Haha! You are right Scott!! I should change it to 4 or 5 cloves!!
      Apply garlic liberally 😉

    Hi,

    When you say grass-fed and “finished” chuck roast, do you mean it needs to be cooked or browned in any way before adding to the slow cooker?

    Thank you!

    I feel like I must have missed something: are you chunking up the roast into normal stew-chunks? or cooking it whole and counting on it to fall apart when it’s done?

    Made this tonight in a Dutch oven, and it was delicious. The beef I had was very lean so I added a couple tablespoons of olive oil. I didn’t take into account the saltiness of my bacon and added too much salt. I should have listened to the recipe – just a pinch! I cooked it for about 2 hours on a medium to low flame on my gas range. Thanks for a simple and tasty recipe!

    This is unbelieveably delicious.
    Excellent recipe.
    Didn’t have any bone broth, so used a cup of organic beef stock. I’ll have bone broth made next time.
    I did add a smoked ham hock during cooking.

    Made it as prescribed, except I added a smoked ham hock to the pot during cooking. Shredded the ham and mixed it in the stew.

      Hi Staci, in the recipe it says, chick roast cut in 2 inch cubes! 😉

    This was yum! And so simple, too! So nice to have a recipe without any fancy, expensive ingredients. I got the crockpot on later than expected and I forgot to cut the roast into chunks. I also used red cabbage and chicken broth as that is what i had on hand. I cranked up the crockpot on high for a few hours and then turned it down to low for several. I pulled out the roast and cut it down after it was mostly cooked and added it back in. The meat got *really* cooked, as in no pink at all, but it was still tender and quite yummy! We will add this to our meal rotation.

      Sorry for the late reply! Thank you so much for making the recipe! I will create macros as soon as possible, in the meantime for maximum accuracy you can plug YOUR OWN ingredients and exact quantities in to My Fitness Pal or Fatsecret and get the exact macros! That is what I recommend that my patients do. 🙂

    This is a great recipe. I’ve made it several times since last year! Sometimes even weekly.
    In a pinch, I’ve substituted lean ground beef instead of roast and that worked & tasted well too!
