Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 pound free-range, organic, grass fed beef stew meat
• 2 cups homemade beef stock
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 4 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
• 1 pound fresh baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground marjoram
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Lemon juice, for seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
When pan is hot, add butter and onion. Cook for 3 minutes until onions are lightly browned.
Add beef and brown for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn heat down to medium-low, and add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Simmer for 35-45 minutes, or until beef is tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Season with lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.
