• Ready In: 6hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 4 bowls
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs stew meat
• 2 large yams
• 3 large carrots
• 1⁄2 white onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• 1 teaspoon hickory smoke salt or 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon ghee
• 2 teaspoons bouillon (beef flavor, 'better than bouillon' brand)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1⁄2 cup hot water

directions

1. Place meat in crockpot, add 1 teaspoon of the salt and add all of the hickory smoke salt, pepper, and bouillon. Add water until just covered. Cook on high 4 hours.
2. After four hours, peel and cut carrots and yams into bite size pieces and set aside.
3. Heat up butter in a medium fry pan on medium heat.
4. Mince garlic and chop onion.
5. Add garlic and rosemary and 1 teaspoon salt to the butter and saute for about 3 minutes.
6. Add onion and saute again for about 3 minutes.
7. Put garlic mixture and vegetables into the crockpot and cook on high another 2 hours.
8. About a half hour before serving, mix cornstarch and water together until dissolved and then stir well into the crockpot. This will thicken it up, and it totally optional.

I have made this stew 3 times now!!! I loved the traditional beef stew but wanted something a bit healthier! It's now my Christmas Eve tradition. My husband and I just love the savory flavors
