Beef Stew Dog Food

🥘 Ingredients

  • 750g Lean beef mince or diced chuck
  • 1.5 cups Brown rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups Mixed vegetables (carrots, sweet potato, zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup Spinach or kale, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil or olive oil
  • 5 cups Water or beef bone broth (low sodium)
  • 1 tsp Dried parsley

📝 Instructions

1

Brown the Beef

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks until browned. Drain any excess fat if using fattier cuts.

2

Add Rice and Liquid

Add brown rice to the pot with the beef. Pour in water or bone broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

3

Add Vegetables

Dice carrots and sweet potato into small cubes. Add to the pot and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Add zucchini in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

4

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat. Stir in chopped spinach and parsley - the residual heat will wilt the greens. Let cool completely before serving. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
