1. Brown diced beef in large pot over medium heat until well-colored and aromatic.
2. Add brown rice, sliced carrots, chopped green beans, and beef broth to pot.
3. Bring mixture to gentle boil, then reduce heat for comfortable simmering.
4. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until rice is tender and vegetables are soft.
5. Remove from heat when consistency thickens and ingredients are well-blended.
6. Cool completely before serving to your furry friend—patience makes perfect!

Notes:

• Always let cool completely for safe serving and best flavor development
• Amber prefers this when everything is tender and broth is mostly absorbed
• If stew seems watery, simmer longer uncovered; if beef is tough, extend cooking time

Storage Tips:

• Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days in airtight containers
• Freeze portions for up to 3 months—perfect for weekly meal prep
• Reheat gently to preserve nutrients and texture
