How to make Low Carb Crockpot Beef Stew
- First, you want to place the beef, radishes, carrots, onion and garlic into a 6-qt slow cooker. Then, stir in beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and bay leaves until well combined.
- You will then cover and cook the ingredients on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Next, remove a ½ cup of the broth from the slow cooker and whisk in the xanthan gum until combined. Once that is well combined, you stir in that mixture back into the slow cooker.
- Then, cover and cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
After, you can taste and season it with salt and pepper as needed. You then serve garnished with parsley, if desired.
