- 1 pound beef (chuck roast or bottom round) braising beef cut into chunks
- 1 dash sea salt to taste

- 2 tablespoon olive oil for frying
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300⁰ F.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper.
- Place a Dutch Oven or an oven safe casserole dish on the stove and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches so that you don’t stew the meat, brown the seasoned beef on all sides.
- Add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic and herbs and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes.
- Pour in the light beer to deglaze the pan, scraping up the bits from the bottom.
- Whisk the xanthan gum into the beef stock.
- Bring the stew to a boil and then add the stock and tomato paste.
- Stir through to thoroughly combine and then cover with a lid.
- Place in the oven for 2½ hours, until the beef is really tender.
- Optional: Serve with creamy cauliflower mash.
- This stew will keep in a covered container in the fridge for up to one week.
It can also be portioned and frozen.
