Ingredients

Meat and Broth

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup beef broth

Vegetables

  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and brown on all sides to develop flavor and seal in juices. Then transfer the browned beef to the crockpot.
  2. Add Vegetables: To the crockpot, add diced onion, minced garlic, cauliflower florets, sliced mushrooms, chopped celery, and trimmed green beans for a well-rounded vegetable mix.
  3. Combine Broth and Spices: Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper over the ingredients. Stir gently to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Cook the Stew: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the stew hot for a comforting, keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, you can reduce the broth amount slightly or add a keto-friendly thickener like xanthan gum near the end of cooking.
  • If you prefer more vegetables, adding chopped carrots or turnips is possible but may increase the carb count slightly.
  • Brown the beef well to enhance the stew’s depth of flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs if available for brighter flavor, but dried thyme works well if fresh is unavailable.
  • This stew can be made in advance and reheated—the flavors deepen over time.
