• Ideal for meal prep – prepare a large quantity and savor throughout the week.

• Rich, savory flavor thanks to slow simmering and quality ingredients

• Perfect for fall and winter, but honestly amazing year-round

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this soul-warming low-carb beef stew. Most of these ingredients are pantry staples, and everything is easy to find.

For the Stew:

• 2 lbs beef stew meat (chuck roast cut into chunks works best)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 small onion, chopped (optional – adds 3–4g carbs per serving)

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• 4 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (check for sugar-free versions)

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp dried rosemary

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 bay leaf

Low-Carb Vegetables:

• 2 cups chopped cauliflower florets

• 1½ cups chopped celery

• 1½ cups chopped zucchini

• 1½ cups chopped green beans

• 1 cup chopped turnips or radishes (as potato substitutes)

Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

• Total Time: 2 hours

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sear the Beef

Liberally sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef chunks. In a large pot or Dutch oven, warm oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches, browning on all sides (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Don’t overcrowd the pan. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

In the same pot, lower the heat to medium. Add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and soft, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Build the Base

Incorporate the tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir for 1 minute to develop flavor.

4. Add Broth and Simmer

Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the bay leaf and pour in the beef broth. Heat until boiling, then lower the heat, cover, and allow to simmer for 60 minutes. This enables the beef to turn tender and the flavors to combine.

5. Add Vegetables

Add cauliflower, celery, zucchini, green beans, and turnips/radishes. Stir and keep simmering uncovered for an additional 30–40 minutes, or until the vegetables and beef are soft and the stew thickens a bit.

6. Final Seasoning

Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or herbs as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Macro Breakdown and Nutritional Info (Per Serving)

Serving Size: 1.5 cups
Servings Per Batch: About 6

Pro Tips and Tricks

• Cook in groups for improved browning and enhanced flavor.

• Low and slow cooking helps the beef become melt-in-your-mouth tender.

• Use radishes or turnips as a potato substitute — they soak up flavor beautifully and have that starchy texture without the carbs.

• A splash of red wine (optional, and keto-friendly in small amounts) adds depth to the stew if you’re not strict.

• Thicken naturally by letting it simmer uncovered in the last 30 minutes. Avoid cornstarch — unnecessary here!

Variations

• Add mushrooms: For an earthy, umami kick.

• Spicy version: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño.

• Dairy-free? No problem — this recipe doesn’t use cream or cheese.

• Crockpot method: Sear beef and sauté onions first, then add everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6–8 hours.

• Instant Pot version: Use sauté mode to brown meat and onions, then pressure cook on high for 35 minutes with a 10-minute natural release.

Storage

This stew keeps like a dream.

• Refrigerator: Keep in a sealed container for a maximum of 5 days. The flavor actually improves after a day!

• Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months. Portion it into freezer-safe containers for quick lunches.

• Reheat: Gently warm on the stove over medium heat or microwave in short bursts, stirring often.

Keto Notes

Most stews rely on flour or starchy veggies to thicken them. Not this one! Thanks to low-carb swaps like turnips and cauliflower, you get all the satisfaction without the carb overload.

If you're ultra-strict keto, skip the onion or reduce the amount — it's there for depth but can be omitted. Also, be sure to choose a Worcestershire sauce and broth with no added sugar.

Common Recipe FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen vegetables?

A: Yes, though they may release more liquid. Add them in the last 15-20 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Q: What can I use instead of tomato paste?

A: Tomato puree or crushed tomatoes can work, but use less and watch the carb count.

Q: Can I thicken it more?

A: Let it simmer uncovered longer, or mash a few of the cauliflower pieces into the broth to create a naturally thickened stew.

Q: What cuts of beef work best?

A: Chuck roast is ideal due to its fat content and texture. Avoid lean cuts like sirloin, which may dry out.

Final Thoughts

This hearty low-carb keto beef stew is proof that comfort food can be healthy and satisfying. It’s rich, filling, and perfect for chilly nights or weekly meal prep. Whether you’re keto, low-carb, or just looking for a delicious, wholesome stew — this one’s a keeper.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s a list of everything you need to make this mouthwatering low-carb mushroom chicken:

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp butter (unsalted)

For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce:

• 8 oz fresh mushrooms (white or cremini), sliced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ small onion, finely chopped (optional, adds a small amount of carbs)

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ½ cup chicken broth (preferably low sodium)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 20 minutes

• Total Time: 30 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Season the Chicken

Begin by drying your chicken with a paper towel.This helps it sear better. Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Sear the Chicken

Warm olive oil and butter in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the Mushrooms

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and softened. If the pan feels dry, add a tiny bit more butter or oil.

4. Add Garlic and Onion

Add in the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Make the Sauce

Add the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the pan’s bottom — this enhances the flavor! Then, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Allow the sauce to simmer softly for 3-5 minutes until it becomes a bit thicker.

6. Combine Everything

Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon some sauce over each piece and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes so the flavors can meld together.

7. Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot!

Nutritional Info (Per Serving)

Serving Size: 1 chicken thigh with sauce (Recipe serves 4)

Pro Tips and Tricks

• Use chicken thighs for juicier results, but breasts work fine too.

• Cook your mushrooms thoroughly — avoid crowding the pan so they caramelize rather than steam. 

• Deglazing the pan with broth after cooking the chicken is key to a rich, deep flavor.

• Add a splash of white wine (dry, low-sugar) instead of broth for a more gourmet twist.

Variations

• Add spinach: Toss in a handful of fresh baby spinach before finishing the sauce for extra nutrients.

• Spicy kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes while cooking the garlic.

• Cheese swap: Try Gruyère or mozzarella in place of Parmesan for a different flavor.

• Make it dairy-free: Use full-fat coconut milk and dairy-free Parmesan alternatives.

Storage Tips

• Refrigerator: Keep leftovers in a sealed container for a maximum of 3 days. 

• Freezer: Store in portioned containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

• Reheat: Gently warm on the stove with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce.

Keto Notes

This recipe is completely keto-friendly, with just 4 net carbs per serving. The fat content from the cream and cheese helps keep you full and supports ketosis. If you're watching protein levels, you can reduce the portion size or pair with a fatty side like avocado or a creamy cauliflower mash.

Avoid serving this with pasta or rice unless using a low-carb alternative like:

• Zucchini noodles

• Cauliflower rice

• Shirataki noodles

Common Recipe FAQs

Q: Can I use canned mushrooms?

A: Fresh mushrooms are best for flavor and texture, but if you’re short on time, drained canned mushrooms can work in a pinch. Just be sure to sauté them a bit longer to reduce excess moisture.

Q: Can I meal prep this?

A: Absolutely! It warms up nicely, and the sauce remains creamy. Just store the chicken and sauce together in individual containers for an easy grab-and-go meal.

Q: Can I make it dairy-free?

A: Yes, use coconut cream or unsweetened almond milk mixed with a bit of xanthan gum for thickness. Also swap out the Parmesan for nutritional yeast or a dairy-free cheese alternative.

Q: Is it okay to use chicken breasts instead?

A: Yes, just keep an eye on the cooking time. Breasts can dry out faster, so consider slicing them in half for quicker, more even cooking.

Final Thoughts

• Want it fluffier? Separate the egg, beat the white until foamy, and fold it into the batter.

• Add texture: A pinch of chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips can make this even more satisfying.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is it possible to substitute coconut flour for almond flour?
A: Yes, but you’ll need to adjust the liquid. Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so use 1 tbsp coconut flour and add another tbsp of cream or a splash of almond milk.

Q: Is pumpkin okay on keto?
A: In moderation, yes. Pumpkin puree has about 6g net carbs per ½ cup. We’re only using 1 tbsp here, which is roughly 1.5g net carbs.

Q: Can I bake this in an oven or air fryer?
A: Absolutely! Preheat your oven or air fryer to 350°F (175°C), and bake in a ramekin for about 12–15 minutes or until the center is set.

Q: What sweetener works best?
A: Erythritol, monk fruit, or a combination such as Swerve or Lakanto perform excellently. Avoid liquid sweeteners unless you reduce other liquids.

Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yes, but use a larger mug or divide into two mugs so it cooks evenly.

• Quick and easy – Ready in under 10 minutes.

• Minimal ingredients – You likely already have everything on hand.

• Delicious crispy edges – That golden feta crust is heavenly!

🥚 Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 large eggs

• ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese (or a small handful of block feta, crumbled by hand)

• 1 tsp olive oil or butter

• Pinch of black pepper

• Optional toppings: sliced avocado, chopped herbs (like parsley or chives), red pepper flakes, a dash of hot sauce, or a drizzle of pesto

🕒 Prep and Cook Time

• Preparation time: 2 minutes

• Cooking time: 5 minutes

• Total time: 7 minutes

🍽️ Serving Size

• Serves: 1

• Serving Size: 1 portion (2 eggs + feta)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Heat the Pan

For optimal results, use a non-stick or duly seasoned cast iron skillet. Place it over medium heat and add olive oil or butter.

Step 2: Add the Feta

When the oil reaches the right temperature, pour the crumbled feta into the pan in a circular fashion, about the size of a small plate.This will act as your “cheese crust.”

Step 3: Let the Feta Crisp

Let the feta sizzle and melt slightly. You’ll notice the edges beginning to turn golden and crisp. This takes about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Crack in the Eggs

Crack the eggs directly into the center of the feta ring. You may add a dash of black pepper at this point. Avoid salt—feta is salty enough on its own!

Step 5: Cook Until Whites Are Set

Reduce heat slightly and cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. This typically takes another 3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cover the pan with a lid for a minute.

Step 6: Plate and Serve

Carefully slide a spatula under the feta crust and lift the entire portion onto a plate. Top with your favorite garnishes like avocado slices, red pepper flakes, or chopped fresh herbs.

🧠 Pro Tips & Tricks

• Use a non-stick pan: Feta loves to cling to the pan if it’s not well-oiled or non-stick.

• Don’t rush the crisping: Allow the feta to sizzle before adding eggs for that perfect crust.

• Sample fresh feta: Block feta often crisps more effectively than pre-crumbled.

• Control your heat: Medium to medium-low heat prevents burning and gives you control over the egg consistency.

🔄 Variations

🥬 Add Veggies

Try adding sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes before adding the feta.

🧄 Garlic Lovers

Rub a clove of garlic on the pan before adding oil or sprinkle garlic powder over feta.

🧀 Mix Cheeses

Combine feta with a bit of shredded mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor and texture.

🍳 Scrambled Style

Prefer scrambled eggs? Just whisk the eggs before pouring them over the crisped feta for a different twist.

❄️ Storage Tips

These eggs are best fresh, but if you must:

• Refrigerator: Keep in a sealed container for a maximum of 2 days

• Reheat: Use a non-stick pan on low heat for 1-2 minutes. Avoid microwaving—it softens the crispy cheese.

🥓 Keto Notes

• Perfect for keto: With high fats and minimal carbs, this recipe aligns perfectly with a ketogenic lifestyle.

• Pairing idea: Add 1-2 slices of avocado or a couple of strips of keto-friendly bacon on the side for extra fat and flavor.

• Avoid bread: Instead, serve over sautéed greens or a bed of riced cauliflower for a more filling meal.

❓ Common Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use goat cheese or another cheese instead of feta?

A: Yes! Goat cheese is softer, so it won’t crisp the same way, but you can experiment with parmesan, mozzarella, or cheddar for a fun twist.

Q: What if I don’t like runny yolks?

A: Cover the pan after adding eggs and cook until yolks are set to your liking. You can even flip them for over-easy.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?

A: This recipe relies heavily on the feta crisping. For a dairy-free version, try a plant-based cheese, though results will vary.

Q: Is this okay for meal prep?

A: While this is best enjoyed fresh, you can prep portions and reheat in a pan. Keep in mind it won’t be as crispy when reheated.
