What happens when you are living without all of the top 8 food allergens and corn too?
You spend hours upon hours researching how to make a single meal and in the process learn a handful of helpful secrets so the recipe you end up with tastes better than anything you ever ate before you had food allergies to deal with.
At least that’s what happened when I developed this corn-free beef stew recipe without using any soup stock or bullion. Even after our family was back on corn, we continued to use this recipe because it’s simply the best.
Enjoy!

Note: If you aren't corn-free, you can use 2 to 4 T. corn starch mixed with equal parts cold water to thicken the stew instead of rice flour. Potato starch is also an acceptable substitute, but will need to be added toward the end of cooking (about an hour before serving).
