One-Pot Keto Beef Stew

7 ratings

This Keto beef stew is rich in flavor with perfectly tender beef chunks and well-cooked low-carb vegetables. It tastes absolutely delicious; you won't believe it is low-carb. It makes a fantastic dish for the cold winter months. The secret to such deep and rich flavors is searing the beef chunks. The best thing about it, the longer the stew cooks the deeper the flavor.

Is beef stew Keto?

Traditional beef stew is loaded with sodium and high-carb vegetables, which might be of concern for those on the Keto diet. Some recipes even use cornstarch to thicken the stew, which is quite unnecessary because the same effect can be achieved without adding additional carbs. Simply scoop out a portion of your stew, blend it with an immersion blender and pour it back into the pot. Beef stew can easily be Keto when altered to fit the specific needs of a low-carb diet. Replace high-carb vegetables like potatoes with low-carb alternatives like zucchini, celery, turnips, or radishes.

How should you store this Keto beef stew?

You should definitely consider making double the portion of this Keto beef stew because the flavor gets better when left over time. Not to mention, this stew makes a good meal-prep recipe. Store your Keto stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze your cooked stew for up to 2 months. Remember to thaw the stew overnight in the fridge before reheating it on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.

What should you serve this Keto beet stew with?

There are a number of ways to serve this Keto beef stew. It can be served with a side of mashed cauliflower or cauliflower rice. This Keto stew also pairs with zucchini noodles, green salad, or some Keto dinner rolls. You can also enjoy it as it is for dinner on a cold week night.

Recipe Steps

steps 6

1 h 50 min

  • Step 1

    Pat the beef dry and generously season with salt and pepper. Finely chop the onions and celery and mince the garlic. Cut the zucchini and carrot into half coins.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    In a heavy-bottomed pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the beef chunks in one single layer for about 5 minutes until well browned on all sides. If you have a small pot, do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Avoid stirring to allow the beef to sear well. Once done, transfer the beef chunks to a plate and set aside.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions, celery, zucchini, carrots, rosemary, and oregano on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then, add in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Add the beef chunks back to the pot. Add in the tomato paste, beef broth, bay leaf, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil uncovered, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for about 1 hour 30 minutes until the beef is fork tender.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference. Remove the bay leaf. To make the soup thicker, scoop out ½ cup of vegetables and some of the soup into a small container. Puree the mixture using an immersion blender until smooth. Add the mixture back into the pot and stir.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon.

        This is delicious. I added some mushrooms and peppers to it. Also the ingredients say thyme and the recipe says oregano so I only added thyme not oregano and it was soooo good!

          Rich and familiar. It brings me back to homemade stew with mom when I was a kid.

            This isn't more than an ingredient list and a few instructions to store it.

              Can you read? This is a recipe & it's delicious. Substituted celeriac root for the celery, gives the feel of potatoes without the carbs.
