Green Beef Stew is more than just comfort food. It is a nutrient-rich dish that supports thyroid health, especially when made with grass-fed beef. Grass-fed beef provides essential nutrients such as zinc, selenium, and iron, which are crucial for optimal thyroid function. In particular, zinc and selenium play key roles in the production and activation of thyroid hormones.

Preparing Your Green Beef Stew

1. Pat the beef chunks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
2. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Dice the yellow potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
4. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the onion.
5. Heat avocado oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
6. Sear the beef chunks in batches until they are browned on all sides. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
7. Remove the seared beef and set aside.
8. In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent.
9. Deglaze the pot with white wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for added flavor.
10. Return the seared beef to the pot.
11. Add coconut aminos and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
12. Stir in the diced yellow potatoes and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
13. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 45–60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
14. Check for tenderness: the beef should be fork-tender, and the potatoes should be soft but not falling apart.
15. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
16. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor.

How This Recipe Supports Thyroid Health

1. High-Quality Protein

Lean beef is an excellent source of protein, essential for thyroid hormone production and overall metabolic health. It also provides zinc and iron, key minerals that support proper thyroid function and the conversion of inactive T4 to active T3 hormones.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Both garlic and onion are rich in selenium, a vital trace mineral that protects the thyroid gland from oxidative damage and supports hormone synthesis. These ingredients also have natural anti-inflammatory properties, helping reduce thyroid-related inflammation.

3. Detoxifying and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Cilantro is packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress, while spices like garlic powder offer detoxifying benefits, contributing to a healthier thyroid environment.

4. Essential Nutrients

Potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, which provide sustained energy, and vitamin C, which supports the immune system and aids in combating thyroid-related fatigue.

5. Healthy Fats

Avocado oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which help regulate inflammation and support overall thyroid function.

6. Gut Health Support

The chicken broth used as the stew’s base is packed with amino acids like glycine and proline, which support gut health. A healthy gut is crucial for maintaining balanced thyroid function and preventing autoimmune flare-ups.
