Ingredient quantities for this homemade keto stew are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- Olive oil
- Ground beef
- Garlic cloves
- Salt
- Pepper
- Almond flour
- Celery stalk
- White onion
- Beef broth
- Water
- Red wine (optional)
- Dried rosemary
- Bay leaf
- Carrot
- Radishes
- Turnips
- Xanthan gum (to thicken the stew)
✨ INGREDIENTS NOTE: This recipe works great with either radishes, turnips, or a mix of both, so use what you have on hand or what you prefer. Turnips give you more of that classic potato vibe, but they do come with a few extra carbs (about 10g net carbs per 1/2 pound). Radishes, on the other hand, are lighter at only 4g net carbs per 1/2 pound, and they soak up flavor beautifully when cooked.
How to Make Keto Ground 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 olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Add ground beef, garlic, salt, pepper, and almond flour. Break up the beef with a spatula, coating it evenly as it cooks.
Turn the heat to medium and cook until browned. Stir in celery, onion, beef broth, water, red wine (optional), rosemary, and bay leaf.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 55–65 minutes until the stew darkens and thickens slightly.
Uncover, add carrots, radishes, and turnips, and simmer another 25–30 minutes until everything is tender.
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 reaches your desired thickness. Use as much or as little of the slurry as you need.
