INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ pounds beef stew meat
- Two tbsp. olive oil

- Two tbsp. Keto Worcestershire sauce
- One tsp. dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt
- Two tbsp. heavy cream

INGREDIENT NOTES:
STEAK:
- Beef is the best to make the stews, as it gets soft during cooking, but we can also utilize sirloin tips or chuck roast cubes. Choose the marbled cuts for lots of flavor & juiciness.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil contains good fat content, which is ideal for a keto diet. We can also use the avocado oil instead; both of them are good for keto diet.
ONIONS:
- Use medium onions to provide the inherent sweet taste and deep flavor in the dish. We softened the onions, which will counterbalance the savory flavors of the meat.
GARLIC:
- It will help to boost the taste of this dish & also add a nice aroma. It is best to use the freshly minced garlic for a strong taste, but pre-minced also works.
BEEF BROTH:
- Use the beef broth to prepare the gravy of this dish. It will help to add a strong beef taste to the dish. Utilize low-sodium broth, so we add the salt as we like.
WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:
- Worcestershire sauce provides tangy and umami taste in the dish & doesn’t overpower the dish. Utilize a version without sugar to keep it keto.
HEAVY CREAM:
- It is used to add the bulkiness in the gravy. Heavy creams make the dish smooth and creamy, and also add creamy content to the dish. It will also balance the strong flavors in the dish.
XANTHAM GUM:
- It is use to thicken the consistency of the gravy. It will make the dish look glossy without the carbs.
