Recipe Tips

• Can I use a different type of potato?
  Yes, red or Yukon gold potatoes also work well and hold their shape during cooking.
• How to thicken paleo beef stew:
  Use arrowroot or tapioca flour mixed with water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Can I leave out the green beans or peas?
  Absolutely. Both are optional and can be adjusted based on your dietary preferences.
• Is coconut aminos necessary?
  It adds subtle umami flavor and saltiness, but you can substitute with tamari or omit if needed.
