My Favorite Whole30 Beef Stews

Korean Short Ribs: These Korean-inspired melt-off-the bone short ribs are a Nom Nom Paleo classic! You can make them in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot. Serve this dish with Asian Cauliflower Fried “Rice”!

Instant Pot Beef Stew: This beef stew is packed with umami boosters that transform ho-hum ingredients into something nomstastic! This stew tastes amazing ladled on Garlic Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes.”

Mexican Beef Stew: This easy-peasy Mexican beef stew only requires a few ingredients and you probably already have them in your pantry! You can make it in the oven or in the Instant Pot and then pile it on Mexi-Cauli Rice for Do-It-Yourself Whole30 Burrito Bowls!

Instant Pot Pot Yankee Roast: You can’t improve on a classic—unless you can set it and forget it in an electric pressure cooker!

About Michelle Tam

Hello! My name is Michelle Tam, and I love to eat. I think about food all the time. It borders on obsession. I’ve always loved the sights and smells of the kitchen. My mother was (and is) an excellent cook, and as a kid, I was her little shadow as she prepared supper each night. From her, I gained a deep, abiding love for magically transforming pantry items into mouth-watering family meals.
