Prepare the Meat: Cut chuck roast into small 1-inch cubes with fat trimmed removed. Season with salt and pepper.
Sear the Beef: Place a Dutch oven or large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and allow it to heat up for about 1 minute, Cook the meat undisturbed for 3-5 minutes per side, or until it develops a golden-brown crust. May need to work in batches to not overcrowd the pan.
Sauté Aromatics: Once all the meat is browned add, diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add Sauce & Simmer the Meat: Add in 1 can tomato sauce, beef broth and coconut aminos. Turn to heat to low and simmer meat on stove for 3 hours.
Add Vegetables & Seasonings: Once the meat is tender, add in your vegetables and remaining seasonings. Simmer for another hour.
Thicken the Soup (optional): Remove from heat. If you prefer your broth to be a little thicker, proceed with roux instructions to thicken the stock. Otherwise, remove from heat and serve warm.
Roux for soup thickener
Add 1-2 tbsp of tapioca starch to a cup, pour liquid from soup over and whisk until well combined- this should make a slurry. Add the slurry back into your soup pot and stir. Thicken to desired consistency.
