Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Trim any excess visible fat from the lean beef and cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, cut carrots into round slices, and chop green beans.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Keeping beef pieces uniform ensures even slow-cooking.

Step 2: Assemble in Slow-Cooker

Place the diced sweet potatoes, carrots, and green beans at the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Top with the beef cubes and pour the 2 cups of unsalted beef bone broth evenly over all ingredients.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Placing root vegetables at the bottom helps them soften fully.

Step 3: Slow Cook

Cover with the lid and set slow cooker to LOW for 6 hours (or HIGH for 3 hours). Vegetables should be fork-tender and beef thoroughly cooked and tender.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Low and slow cooking retains maximum nutrient density and creates tender meat.

Step 4: Stir in Peas & Cool

Stir in the 1/2 cup of frozen peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Turn off heat and allow the roast to cool completely to room temperature before serving to your dog.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Never serve steaming hot food to dogs to protect their delicate mouth tissue.
