This recipe can be 100% paleo, I used Yukon gold and red bliss potatoes, (what my wife likes), but if using sweet potatoes instead, (wife does not like), that would conform completely. Stock:2 marrow bones4 quarts filtered waterTrimmings from prepped vegetables- onion ends and peels, pepper tops and bottoms, celery endsHandful of sage leaves- probably 8-10 Stew:3 lbs stew beef, mine was butcher shop cut chuck2 medium onions diced medium1 red, 1 green, 1 orange pepper diced medium4 stalks celery diced medium6 cloves garlic fine diced6 carrots medium diced, (I used rainbow colored organic that I found)6 small potatoes, or 2 sweet potatoes, medium diced1 28 oz can diced organic tomatoes1/2 cup tapioca flour divided2 Tbsp arrowroot flour1/4 cup fresh sage finely chopped1/2 cup fresh parsley finely chopped1 cup red wine1/2 cup dry sherry5 bay leaves1 Tbsp smoked paprika1 Tbsp coconut aminos4 Tbsp olive oilSalt and pepper  Made the stock first. Roasted 2 marrow bones with all of the vegetable trimmings at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Add 4 quarts of filtered water, then add to dutch oven and boiled for 2 hours at heavy simmer with a handful of sage. Removed bones and trimmings, and send through strainer. Collecting about 6 cups of stock. Let settle then skim any oil off the top.%5BIMG%5Dhttps://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc314/thirsty_02/092601DF-4150-4C6A-B898-7A46B735C397-9287-00000CA4B0E1AA16_zps82118818.jpg  Heat about 2 Tbsp olive oil in dutch oven.
