Yummy Keto Beef Stew

This is a stunner of a weeknight meal!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lb. beef chuck roast, cut into 1″ pieces
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 oz. Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into rounds
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 6 c. low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp. freshly chopped rosemary

DIRECTIONS:

Pat beef dry with paper towels and season well with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Working in batches, add beef and sear on all sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and repeat with remaining beef, adding more oil as necessary.

To the same pot, add mushrooms and cook until golden and crispy, 5 minutes. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add tomato paste and stir to coat vegetables. Add broth, thyme, rosemary, and beef to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until beef is tender, 50 minutes to an hour.
