How to Make Keto Beef Stew {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the low carb stew. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Toss in the stew meat…
… garlic, salt, pepper, and almond flour. Mix everything around so the meat gets a good coating of the flour and oil.
Turn the heat to medium and cook the meat, stirring often, until it’s nicely browned.
Next, add the celery, onion, beef broth, water, red wine (if you’re using it), dried rosemary, and a bay leaf.
Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 55-65 minutes, until the stew gets darker and starts to thicken a bit.
Take off the lid and add the carrots, radishes, and turnips.
Let it simmer for another 25-30 minutes, or until the veggies and beef are as soft as you like.
To Make a Thicker Stew
Mix the slurry ingredients in a bowl. Slowly add the mixture to the stew, stirring well after each addition, until it’s the thickness you want. Use as much or as little as you need!
