6. 6Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender when pierced with a fork and the sweet potato and carrots are soft.
7. 7Stir in the 1/2 cup of Sunflower seed butter until it is completely blended into the stew. Continue to simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. 8Season the stew with 1 tsp of Salt and 1/2 tsp of Black pepper. Serve hot.
