Slow Cooker Or Instant Pot?
You can use either, and we do provide instructions for both options below, but for the ease of using and dirtying only one pot, we prefer the Instant Pot. You can sauté the beef in the Instant Pot, and then you just add the rest of the ingredients and let the Instant Pot do its thing! If you choose to use your slow cooker, you just sauté the beef over the stove, and then add everything to your slow cooker. Either way, you will love another way to enjoy curry flavors with this recipe that is both Paleo and Whole30 compliant.
Potatoes For A Little Extra Good Comfort
We added potatoes to this curry beef stew to add a little extra goodness, but if you’re not down with good old yukon gold potatoes, you can just as easily substitute with sweet potatoes or the winter squash of your choice. We’ve used butternut and delicata squash in place of the potatoes ourselves. I bet you could even get away with using zucchini as well as we do eventually switch to the next season!
Make Ahead Over The Weekend
While this Paleo and Whole30 curry beef stew is pretty easy to make in the Instant Pot during the work week, one of our favorite things to do is to make it Sunday for dinner and then have the leftovers on hand to quickly re-heat during the rest of the following week. Our typical weekend meal prep includes a large breakfast for Justin to re-heat in the mornings during the week and then a large dinner on Sunday night to carry some leftovers into the week as well. Sometimes we’ll tack on a snack or a treat as well to have a little something readily available. If you don’t already meal prep (even on a small scale), we highly recommend it for saving time and sanity during the busy work week. We even have some Paleo and Whole30 meal plans available to help you out if you’re interested!
