INGREDIENT NOTES:

TOMATO PASTE:

  • This paste is added to provide a color and gives a strong taste. As a replacement, you can use non-sweetened tomato paste, which is good for a keto diet.

RADISHES OR TURNIPS:

  • They are used in place of potatoes as a keto alternative. They will give the same taste once it is completely prepared. Radishes contain a low-carb content.

GARLIC:

  • It provides a savory flavor and a strong, deep taste to the dish without increasing the carb content.

XANTHAN GUM:

  • It is utilized instead of cornstarch or flour and helps to prepare a thick stew with a less raising of carbs count if you use it gently.

BEEF CHUCK:

  • This is perfect for stews because its fat and connective tissue break down during the cooking process on a low heat, it will give a soft texture without the need for added carbs. Keto stews do not work well with lean cuts.

CELERY:

  • It is used as an alternative to carrots, which gives a mild, sweet taste and a crunchiness with a low-carb count.

ONION:

  • We use this ingredient in a normal amount to deliver a sweet and aromatic taste to this dish without increasing the carb content. You can also use shallots in a smaller quantity instead as a replacement.
