Instructions
1️⃣ In a large stockpot, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add sweet potato, carrots, celery, 2 tsp salt + pepper to the pot. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring every few min, until crisp-tender.
2️⃣ Add the cabbage to the pot and cook for another 5 min until wilted and tender, ensuring the root vegetables do not become mushy.
3️⃣ *Meanwhile*, in a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until brown and tender, stirring every few. If they stick, add a tbsp of water, cover with a lid + cook a few more minutes. Remove lid, stir + and cook until deeply caramelized and tender. Set aside.
4️⃣ Add the beef broth, coconut milk, parsley, vinegar, rosemary + bay leaf to pot. Stir in caramelized onions.
5️⃣ Bring to a boil, reduce heat, add cooked beef + simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 min, until you achieve a rich brown stew. Stir in garlic and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
