Ingredients

6oz cubed beef stew meat, sirloin, tenderloin, or filet only
½ large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 zucchini, chopped
1 yellow squash, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 cooked chicken breast, cubed
2 tbsp almond milk, unsweetened
3 cups organic, salt free chicken broth or homemade vegetable broth

Directions

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed beef stew meat to the pot and brown it on all sides. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the chopped zucchini and yellow squash to the pot. Stir and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the chopped tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
Return the browned beef stew meat to the pot. Add the cubed cooked chicken breast as well. Mix everything together.
Pour in the almond milk and chicken broth into the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender.
After simmering, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Southwest Garden Stew hot in a bowl. You can garnish it with fresh cilantro or shredded cheese if desired.
