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.

Pro Tip:  Serve this dish with your favorite low carb biscuit or try it with this Best Keto Bread Recipe.

Benefits of using Beef Chuck Roast 

Beef chuck roast is one of the best meats to use when making a beef stew. It has a beautiful marbling that helps the beef stew to be tender and juicy. This is a great meat that retains its delicious beefy flavor!

For this recipe you will want to chop this meat into one inch cubes. Although this might seem like a tough cut of meat when you are cutting it, it will be worth it in the end.  The slow cooking in the crockpot will transform the beef chuck roast into a mouthwatering meat that is perfectly fork-tender.    

Plus it’s a cheaper cut of meat and it’ll help you save money!

What to do with Slow Cooker Keto Beef Stew Leftovers

Slow Cooker Beef Stew is a dish that can be saved for later if needed, although it is so delicious there might not be any leftovers! If you do have any leftovers, you can place it in a sealed glass container and store it in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within 3 days.

Believe it or not, this keto beef stew can also be stored in the freezer!

Whether you are making this in advance to save for a quick dinner night or just saving the leftovers for another time, you can freeze this dish in a heavy glass, airtight container. Just make sure not to fill the container all the way to the top of the plastic container, try to leave about an inch of space at the top to allow for any expansion that might occur during the freezing process. 

Or let the beef stew come to room temperature after cooking and transfer it to a freezer gallon or gallon and a half bag. Once you’re ready to eat, simply transfer the baggie to the fridge to defrost. You can warm up the beef stew on the stove top or even in the crockpot!
