The Best Keto Beef Stew Crockpot Recipe

This Slow Cooker Beef Stew has a classic beef stew flavor profile with rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and vegetables. We keep it lower in carbs with rutabaga instead of potato, and use a bit of beef gelatin to thicken it (and also to bump up the nutrition!).

Ingredients

2 tablespoons ghee
2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces
1 large onion chopped
8 large cloves garlic minced
1 cup canned no-salt-added crushed tomatoes with juices
4 cups beef broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 large stalks celery chopped
2 medium carrots sliced
1 cup cubed rutabaga
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon beef gelatin
3 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

Add the ghee to a large, deep skillet over medium-high to high heat. Once melted, add the beef cubes in a single layer and sear on both sides, about 4 minutes, turning them over once.
Stir in the onion and garlic and cook 1 minute, while continuing to stir.
Transfer the meat and garlic/onion mixture to a slow cooker along with the canned tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, celery, carrot, rutabaga, and rosemary.
Cook on LOW for 7 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
Add the beef gelatin to a small bowl and sprinkle the cold water on top. Let it sit for 2 minutes,
and then mix in 1 cup of hot broth from the soup. Stir this mixture into the soup.
Sprinkle the parsley on top and serve.

Notes

If you are pressed for time you can skip steps 1 thru 3 and just go ahead and place everything in the slow cooker. Prepping those ingredients on the stove top first just amplifies the flavor profile.
