20. Keto Low Carb Beef Stew Fall Dinner Recipe
This Keto Low Carb Beef Stew is the perfect way to enjoy a rich, beefy meal without deviating from your keto goals. Start by browning the beef chunks in a heavy-bottomed pot with some oil to develop a deep flavor.
Remove the beef and in the same pot, add chopped onions, garlic, and other keto-friendly vegetables like turnips or radishes, celery, mushrooms, and green beans. Sauté until they start to soften.
Pour a little beef broth into the pot to deglaze it, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. This will enrich the stew with robust flavors.
Return the beef to the pot, add the remaining broth, and bring everything to a simmer. Include herbs like thyme and rosemary for an aromatic touch.
Let the stew simmer on low heat for several hours, either on the stovetop or in a slow cooker, until the beef is fork-tender and the flavors are melded beautifully.
For a thicker broth, you can allow the stew to simmer uncovered in the final 30 minutes to reduce the liquid, or mash some of the vegetables directly into the broth.
To serve, ladle the hot stew into bowls and consider pairing it with a side of keto bread to absorb the savory broth.
This stew is a hearty and fulfilling dish that’s perfect for cold weather, providing all the comfort of traditional beef stew without the carbs. Enjoy this guilt-free indulgence that satisfies your cravings and keeps you on track with your keto diet.
