Hearty Low-Carb Stew
Soups are naturally low-carb dinners unless you put lots of potatoes in them. When I was trying to make beef stew without potatoes, something was missing.
The perfect substitute for potatoes in a low-carb stew are turnips! They are naturally lower in carbs than potatoes and have the same texture and color. Plus, when you cook them, they soak up all the comforting beef broth.

This Keto beef stew packs lots of protein and good for you veggies! This recipe swaps out potatoes and other carb-heavy root vegetables found in stews with butternut squash, turnips, and green beans but you can also add celery, asparagus, and even cauliflower!

What Veggies Are Best In Beef Stew?
That’s the best part about stews, you can add whatever veggies you have available! There really isn’t a single type of veggies that doesn’t taste good in it.
The only thing you need to watch out for is how many carbs the vegetables have – especially if you are tracking your macros. Tomatoes and carrots are higher in carbs while broccoli and cauliflower is on the lower end.

Keto Instant Pot Beef Stew Tips
The entire recipe is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. First, I want to share some photos of the recipe in action. I hope they help as you make this stew for your family.
Saute Beef In The Instant Pot
The very first step is to cook your beef completely by using the saute function of the Instant Pot.
Add some olive oil, and your stew meat, and saute until browned well. Add salt and pepper to taste to the meat.
Add The Veggies
After you add all your spices and mix it up in the Instant Pot, throw in all your veggies too.
Give it a nice stir so it’s completely mixed together.
Add Liquid Ingredients and Tomatoes Last
The very last step before closing your Instant Pot is to stir in the liquids.
Mix in the Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine.
Use The Soup Function of Your Instant Pot
After everything is completely mixed, close the lid and choose 30 minutes on the soup option. You can choose either a quick release when it’s done or allow a few additional minutes for a natural release – it’s completely up to you.
Use Xantham Gum For A Low-Carb Thickener
Sprinkle the xanthan gum on the surface of the beef stew ¼ tsp at a time until the whole teaspoon has been added. Stir, and allow a minute or two for the stew to thicken slightly. Serve immediately.
Serve with: Keto cloud bread – recipe at Mom Foodie or with Cheese crisps – recipe at 730 Sage Street.
