Keto Beef Stew Recipe

Making beef stew keto-friendly only means a couple of simple swaps. It’s still silky and deeply comforting and has low carbs.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lb. beef chuck roast, cut into 1″ pieces
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 oz. Baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into rounds
• 2 stalks of celery, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp. tomato paste
• 6 c. low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tsp. freshly chopped rosemary

DIRECTIONS

1. Pat beef dry with paper towels and season well with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Working in batches, add beef and sear on all sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from pot and repeat with remaining beef, adding more oil as necessary.
2. To the same pot, add mushrooms and cook until golden and crispy, 5 minutes. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add tomato paste and stir to coat vegetables.
3. Add broth, thyme, rosemary, and beef to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until beef is tender, 50 minutes to an hour.
