January kicked my butt. Hard. I had big plans to eat perfectly healthy and go to the gym everyday and that definitely did not happen. I knew that I needed to start being more prepared, so I tried making some freezer meals. I wasn’t sure if they would have the same home-cooked taste, but I was so surprised. My husband even texted me about this beef stew from work to tell me how amazing it was!

Paleo Beef Stew Freezer Meal

This beef stew is so simple and everything but the broth & potatoes are already in the freezer bag. You can come home, dump the bag in the Instant Pot and in 25 minutes dinner is ready! This means that I can spend some time with the kids before they go to bed. That is so worth it to me to prepare ahead of time.

I used the pre-cut stew beef and it worked really well. It was very tender once it was cooked, but you could also use a larger cut of beef and cut it into smaller pieces. The veggies are also all cut to a similar size to help them cook more evenly. You can use any beef broth that you like, but my personal favorite its Bonafide Provisions Beef Bone Broth. It has so much flavor and even adds a boost of nutrients. It’s also made from the highest quality beef bones. You can buy it from their website, in bulk on Amazon or I get mine at my local grocery store in the freezer section.

When you are making this in the Instant Pot it can go straight from freezer to cooking. When you are using a slow cooker, it needs to be thawed overnight in the fridge first. This is because the slow cooker doesn’t come to temperature fast and you don’t want bacteria to accumulate on the meat. This is also a great option when you are busy because you can set it in the fridge the night before and then place it in the slow cooker in the morning before work.

    Hi Sarah, how would you change the timing if only the meat is frozen and the rest of the vegetables are thawed?

      Hi Rebecca, I would have to test that out to give you specifics. But I would recommend cooking the meat first and then adding the veggies toward the end so they don’t get mushy

    When you cook it in a slow cooker do you add the potatoes with the broth? Thanks for the recipe, it looks delicious!
