Ingredients:
- 1 lb human-grade beef (lean ground beef or diced beef)
- 2 cups sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup green beans (chopped)
- 4 cups low-sodium beef or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Prepare the Beef: If using lean ground beef, cook it in a pan over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil until browned and cooked through. If using diced beef, brown it in a tablespoon of olive oil in a separate pan. Ensure the beef is thoroughly cooked. Set aside to cool.
Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In the same pan used for beef, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté the diced sweet potatoes until they start to soften. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Prepare the Green Beans: If using fresh green beans, chop them into smaller pieces. If using frozen or canned beans, ensure they’re thawed or drained. These can be added directly to the stew without pre-cooking.
Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the cooked beef, sautéed sweet potatoes, and chopped green beans. Pour in the low-sodium beef or vegetable broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.
Simmering: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together.
Cooling and Serving: Allow the stew to cool down before serving it to your dog. Ensure it’s at a safe temperature for your furry friend to enjoy.
Storage: Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze portions and thaw them as needed.
Feeding Instructions: Serve appropriate portions of this beef and sweet potato stew for your dog. Adjust the portion size based on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
Note: Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing new foods into your dog’s diet to ensure it aligns with their nutritional requirements and any specific health considerations. Monitor your dog for any potential allergies or sensitivities to ingredients in the recipe.
Providing your dog with high-quality ingredients, like human-grade beef, and monitoring their reaction to new foods is essential for their health and well-being. Adjust portions according to your dog’s size, age, and individual dietary needs.
