Why it works
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free beef stock keeps hidden gluten out of the skillet sauce.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free beef stock and whole ingredients leave out wheat, barley and rye.
- Anti-inflammatory: Lamb, olive oil, vegetables, cranberries and herbs bring flavor without added sugar.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
