Italian Beef Stew (Paleo)
This dish is called Spezzatino and is a lighter version of the traditional tomato and red wine based beef stew. A slow cooked meat is reminiscent of Sunday dinners. This paleo version does not use the typical wheat flour, but uses arrowroot flour in its place. A total hit with my family I hope you enjoy.
