By using high quality organic ingredients, you can achieve a healthy and delicious French stew: grass-fed beef in wine sauce. Perfect for special occasions, or to slow down on a Sunday.<\/p>\n

You know how some people eat meat all the time and they make a special effort for Meatless Mondays? Well, for me, it’s kind of reversed. We don’t eat meat very often, so the average might end-up being once or twice a week at the most.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, I don’t have any issues eating meat, as long as it’s organic of course, but also that the animals were living outside while the weather allows (grass-fed\/free-range) and well treated (not living in tiny cages), and of course that they are not fed a diet of GMO corn, soy, antibiotics and hormones! I also know exactly where my meat comes from, I go to the farm regularly and I’ve seen the animals in the field. So, although I advocate eating a whole lot LESS meat (and animal products) and definitely organic AND grass-fed, I still eat a little bit of meat. If I can’t find that type of meat, then I would simply not eat any (I try to avoid animal products if I eat at a non-organic restaurant).<\/p>\n

If we think about the way people were living a few generations back, meat was eaten but I find it was more respectful, it was more as a special treat, like the “Sunday roast”. If people would’ve been eating meat every day, the Sunday roast wouldn’t have made any difference than from any other day, right? But it was special, it was also a time to slow down, take our time to cook and spend time with family and friends.<\/p>\n

There some olives used in this recipe. I’m not a big fan of olives but I know how important they can be in some recipes, so I’ve put them in, and it was delicious; it wouldn’t taste the same without them so I strongly recommend putting some in (even just 4-5 at least) even if you don’t like olives.<\/p>\n
