Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter or coconut oil
• 3 pounds beef stew meat (lean)
• 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 white onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
Instructions
1. Melt the butter or oil in a large pan.
2. Season the beef with the salt and pepper and brown the beef for about 3 minutes on at least 2 sides, or until the beef forms a nice deep brown color. Transfer to a separate bowl and continue to brown the rest of the beef.
3. Once the beef is finished browning, add the onions and garlic to the pan with the remaining butter/oil. Saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, but not burned.

5. ust before serving, mix in the fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!
