Garlic Beef Stew and Savory Cauliflower Mash
Posted on March 03, 2010 by Sarah in Dinner, Food, News | 6 Comments
It’s been raining like crazy and cold here in Chico, so what’s better to warm up the body and soul than some stew. This recipe is almost too easy – total comfort food AND it’s super diverse. Here is the basic recipe but I say add whatever you want and I bet it will be even better! Oh, and I’m mildly obsessed with mashed cauliflower and experimenting with different ways to spice it up. Below you’ll also find an easy version of my favorite mash.
Garlic Beef Stew
1.5 – 2 lbs of grass fed stew meat
1 yellow onion diced
4-6 carrots diced
4-6 stalks of celery diced
6-12 mashed cloves of garlic (I used the jarred crushed garlic from TJ’s)
palm full of ground marjoram
sea salt and black pepper to taste
1 small can tomato paste
splash of chicken broth
Throw it all in your crock pot, mix well, cook all day on low. It’s a lot of garlic but it mellows from the long cooking time and your house will smell amazing!
Savory Cauliflower Mash
1 giant head of organic cauliflower steamed until soft
big hunk of Kerrygold Irish butter
palm full of turmeric powder
sea salt and white pepper to taste
Blend all ingredients in a food processor. I like to leave mine a little lumpy for texture.

Curry & cauliflower are a match made in gastronomic heaven
Great recipe! Thank you for inspiring my own paleo cooking! I tried your cauliflower mash last night and it was delicious! Great choice of seasonings! I look forward to trying more of your recipes. Thanks for sharing!
[...] Here’s a great crockpot recipe for Garlic Beef Stew & Cauliflower Mashed ‘potatoes’ from the excellent Everyday Paleo blog. The only thing I’d definitely add to this meal would be a dark leafy green and yellow/orange vegetable for the vitamins/minerals. [...]
I LOVE you website!!!!! Thanl you so much for making paleo food fun and delicious! you are a life saver!!!
Hi Sarah, would you believe that I had never even heard of a crock pot until I read about it on your website? And thanks to your love for it, I actually decided to buy one. Took me a while to find one though, because believe it or not, while crock pots may be widely known and used throughout The States, over here in The Netherlands, the most common reaction to the word crock pot is “a what?”. Anyway, even though it’s Midsummer here, I was in a stew-mood all of a sudden and made your garlic beef stew. I absolutely loved it! So thanks for introducing me to the crock pot and for another great recipe!
