Grass-Fed Beef, Root Vegetable & Thyme Stew
"This hearty, nutrient-dense stew is perfect for winter, offering sustained nourishment from quality meat and seasonal vegetables. Grass-fed beef provides higher levels of certain vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed beef. The root vegetables supply slow-release carbohydrates for steady energy, while the tomato purée and fresh thyme contribute antioxidants and immune-supporting compounds. Mineral-rich bone broth helps support gut and joint health, while adding depth and flavour to this comforting stew," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
