Forget potatoes. POTATO WHO?! This Keto Beef Stew recipe is all about the beef. I’ve always been a lover of beef stew, but to be honest, even before my keto days, I always hated how those smooshy potatoes would get all up in my grill when all I wanted was some meaty broth. And you know when you’re at some little diner or restaurant and get the beef stew you’re like 85% likely to get two bites of actual meat and a thousand bites of that m’f’n potato.
Well, problem solved, dears. This is one meaty arsed soup. And it’s true to the name. BEEF. STEW. This recipe took years to perfect and now I crave it when it’s not in my crockpot. It’s slightly spicy (and totally adjustable). Those last two hours on low after getting pulled apart are key.

Looks really good. What type of hot sauce do you prefer with this. Sriracha or Tabasco or something else?
I used Frank’s Red Hot this time, but I have also used Cholula in the past. 🙂
As the author statedd Frank’s is great…Sriracha or even garlic chili sauce would be perfect.
Actually any of them made without vinegar (so no Tabasco) would be great…the vinegar in tabasco is what would be bad for the taste buds.
How long do you think it would take to cook in a pressure cooker?
Depending on your pressure cooker, around 45 minutes should be good. The good thing about the pressure cooker is that if it’s not quite done, you just put it in again and it doesn’t take nearly as long to come to pressure so you can just do maybe another 10 minutes if you need to.
Pretty yummy! Kind of like a cross between chili and stew. Will definitely make it again.
2 questions – is the stew meat already in small pieces when you start? Mine comes cut up. Also, what do you mean by chili-ready tomatoes? Seasoned, or size? Thank you!!!
Stew meats are usually butcher cut ready to use.
Diced tomatoes Chili Ready…
Your canned diced tomatoes can come plain, chili ready, fire roasted, onion garlic, onion basil, or so on…
The store brands do not come such a wide variety.
Stews and chilis i like to add fresh diced whole tomatoes and onions and fresh pressed garlic and a jalapeno also…
Whats the serving size under macros? Is that 9 net carbs for the entire dish?
It’s 9 net carbs per serving and this recipe makes 6 servings.
Sounds great! Can it be portioned and frozen?
Yes, absolutely.
What do you serve with it? I am making this tonight in about 4 hours. 🙂
I typically don’t serve it with anything, you could pour it over cauliflower rice.
We doubled the recipe…..and used your 1x, 2x, 3x buttons to calculate everything needed. You may want to take a look at how the 2x and 3x quantities are calculated for the cans of chili-ready diced tomatoes. It is WAY off and turned out TOO soupy in doubling……2-14.5 oz cans for ONE (total = 29 oz) but for TWO, it calls for 116 oz and for THREE, it calls for 261 oz.
Interesting, I honestly didn’t even realize the recipe card had that functionality and in truth I wouldn’t blindly double a recipe because some things don’t double or triple so easily. Looks like it’s calculating just by doubling any numbers in the recipes, instead of in that instance, it was two 14.5oz cans, should have been four 14.5oz cans, and the system changed it to four 29oz cans. I’ll see what I can do about that, perhaps not mentioning the cans at all, although I feel that’s easier to understand. Sorry about that, I’ll try to turn that feature off if I can because I don’t think it’s very helpful.

6 hours on high? Plus 2 hours? This seems like to long… Is that correct and why so long on high?
This is how I cooked it, I’ve tried 8 hours on low and it turned into 12 hours. This was a good hack to get it to cook more quickly, but then still soak in all the flavor after it’s shredded. You can definitely try it other ways, eventually it will cook 🙂 Cooking on high for a short time, will just make it tough, though.
