Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
2 lbs cubed beef stew meat
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 cup almond flour
1 celery stalk chopped
1 medium white onion chopped
4 cups beef broth
2 cups water
1/2 cup red wine optional
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 large carrot peeled and cut into 1/2” rounds
1/2 lb chopped radishes see notes
1/2 lb chopped turnips see notes

Slurry (to thicken)

1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 tbsp almond flour

Instructions

To a Dutch oven or large pot, add olive oil. Then add the stew meat, garlic, salt, pepper, and flour. Toss the meat in the pot with the flour and oil to coat the meat thoroughly.
Turn the heat to medium and cook the meat until it’s browned, tossing it frequently.
Add the celery, onion, beef broth, water, red wine (optional), dried rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 55-65 minutes until the stew has darkened and slightly thickened.
Uncover, add carrots, radishes, and turnips, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until carrots, radishes, turnips, and beef reach your desired softness.
To thicken the stew, combine the slurry ingredients in a bowl. Slowly add the mixture to the stew, stirring thoroughly between each addition, until the stew is your desired thickness. (Add as much or as little of the mixture as needed.)

Notes

You can use both radishes and turnips as noted in this recipe, or you use one or the other. Turnips are more potato-like, but they have more carbs than radishes. (Turnips contain 10g net carbs per 1/2 lb, whereas radishes contain 4g net carbs per 1/2 lb.)
