Keto Beef Stew (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat

01 - 907 grams beef chuck roast, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
02 - Kosher salt to taste
03 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Vegetables

04 - 227 grams baby bella mushrooms, sliced
05 - 1 small onion, chopped
06 - 1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced into rounds
07 - 2 celery stalks, sliced
08 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ Liquids and Seasonings

09 - 30 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
10 - 1 tablespoon tomato paste
11 - 1.4 liters low-sodium beef broth
12 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
13 - 1 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Pat beef dry using paper towels and season thoroughly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sear beef in batches, avoiding overcrowding, turning to brown all sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove seared beef and set aside.
02 - In the same pot, add sliced mushrooms and cook until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Add chopped onion, carrot slices, and celery; cook until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste until vegetables are fully coated.
03 - Return seared beef to the pot. Add beef broth, fresh thyme, and rosemary. Season with an additional ½ teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 50 to 60 minutes, or until beef is tender.
04 - Ladle stew into bowls and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy warm.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For best results, allow stew to simmer gently and avoid boiling vigorously to ensure tender beef.
02 - Leftovers store well in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 4 days.
