Low Sodium Beef Stew Recipe

Low Sodium Beef Stew

As someone with considerably high Blood Pressure I try to eat a low sodium diet as much as possible. Here is a recipe you will enjoy.




Ingredients for low sodium beef stew:

• 1 pound beef steak
• 2 teaspoons oil
• 2 cups diced onions
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup diced red potatoes 
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 cups low-sodium vegetable beef stock
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Note: You can also use Sweet Potatoes/Yams, Mushrooms, and sage along with what ever other spices or veggies you want to add to the pot.

Directions:

Preheat broiler to medium heat. Broil steak 12 to 13 minutes turning only once. Remove from heat and let stand  while preparing vegetables.

In a stock pot, saute vegetables in oil over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes.

Pat meat dry with paper towel. Dice grilled steak, add to pot. Next add your vinegars, stock, herbs and spices.

Bring to simmer and let cook 1- 1 & 1/2 hours, until stew has thickened .

Serve hot. Enjoy!
