Broccoli Beef Antioxidant Comfort Stew
A cozy beef based stew that uses broccoli, carrots and soft grains to add natural antioxidants to a familiar comfort style meal.
Equipment
- - Medium pot
- Ladle
- Cutting board and knife
- - Measuring cups
Food ingredients
- Lean ground beef or finely diced beef
- Small broccoli florets chopped very small
- Diced carrot
- Cooked rice or barley
- Low sodium beef or vegetable broth
- Vet approved calcium source
Operation steps
- Brown the beef in a pot, draining off any excess fat so the stew stays light.
- Add the finely chopped broccoli and carrot along with enough low sodium broth to cover.
- Simmer gently until the vegetables are very soft and easy to mash.
- Stir in the cooked grains to thicken the stew into a hearty but still spoonable texture.
- Remove from heat, add your calcium source, cool completely and then serve in measured portions based on your dog’s size.

If you don’t want to cook daily, check our dry food picks - those were Ethan’s daily backups.
This beef and broccoli stew is very much a “comfort night” recipe for Ethan, so I usually keep the antioxidant and omega base steady with a daily scoop of
Missing Link Superfood Mix on his regular meals. That way this stew can stay flexible and still fit into a consistent long term plan. When I cook a full pot, I like using the
T-fal 12 Qt Nonstick Stockpot for slow simmering and then freezing extra in
Souper Cubes 1/2 Cup Trays so it is easy to add a “comfort cube” on top of Ethan’s usual dry food.
