Ingredients:
1 kg of beef (opt for keto-friendly cuts like chuck or sirloin)
2 tablespoons of keto-approved fat (tallow, butter, or oil)
1.5 liters of homemade or bought bone broth concentrate
200 grams of mushrooms, halved
2 cups of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large carrot, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or sliced
2 teaspoons of dried thyme
2 teaspoons of high-quality salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions:
1. Searing the Beef:
Heat your chosen fat (tallow, butter, or oil) in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef in batches until it’s beautifully caramelised. This step adds depth of flavor to your stew. Once seared, transfer the beef to a large pot.
2. Adding the Vegetables:
In the same pot, arrange the mushrooms, cauliflower, and sparingly chopped carrot over the seared beef.
3. Seasoning:
Sprinkle the dried thyme, high-quality salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients in the pot.
4. Adding the Broth:
Pour the bone broth concentrate into the pot. The bone broth serves as the flavourful base for your stew while keeping it low-carb.
5. Cover and Cook:
Cover the pot with a lid.
Set your slow cooker to LOW and let it simmer for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld, and the meat becomes incredibly tender while staying keto-friendly.
6. Final Touches:
After the cooking time is up, check the beef for tenderness and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Your slow-cooked beef stew is now ready to serve!
This stew is a comforting low-carb meal that’s perfect for keto enthusiasts. The tender beef, aromatic vegetables, and savory broth create a harmonious blend of flavors that will satisfy your cravings without compromising your ketogenic state. Whether you’re cooking for your keto lifestyle, keto friends, or just for yourself, this recipe is a winner.
So, go ahead and give it a try. With minimal effort and a little patience, you can relish a homemade beef stew that’s as keto-tastic as it gets. Serve it with a keto-friendly side like cauliflower mash or enjoy it just as it is
