Low Carb beef stew
« Reply #-1 on: October 18, 2016, 02:09:39 PM »
Found some choice 7 Bone chuck roast on sale for $2.49 a pound, so picked up a couple of these huge packs and thought I'd make some good hearty beef stew. 



My ingredients:
Chuck roast (4 1/2 lbs) 
1 large onion 
5 medium turnips
A few baby carrots I needed to use up  :)
2 cans tomato paste
4 + cups beef broth

Started by dicing up the onion and turnips.  I didn't bother peeling the turnips, but they didn't seem to add any funky taste to the stew.




Sliced/cubed up the steaks and browned the meat and the bones in a cast iron.  In the past I've smoked the meat for about an hour to get some extra flavor, but didn't do it this time.
While I was browning the meat, I turned my MAK to 375° and threw the onions and turnips in a dutch oven with a pat of butter to let them soften up a bit and get a bit of smoke. 
 


Once the meat was all browned, and onions had started to caramelize a bit, I poured the beef stock into the pot and deglazed the pan, then stirred in the cans of tomato paste.  (It was way too dark outside at the grill, so I brought it in to take photos.)  :)   Then I mixed in all the beef and bones, with all their juices. 


 
I left it on the grill (uncovered) for a couple of hours, stirring once in awhile, and added a bit more beef broth to thin it down just a bit. 

Not the prettiest picture, but it was so hearty and delicious!   Nice change of pace from the other low-carb stuff we're eating!   I would usually garnish it with some chopped parsley, but forgot to get some at the store when I bought the beef!  Really nice warming Fall stew.

Very nice! I'm not on the low carb bandwagon at the moment but when I jump back on, I'll remember this.

After they've been soaking in all that good broth, they don't taste much like anything but beefy goodness.  Turn out nice and tender and adds some good body to the soup!

Looks really good. Turnips make a great sub for taters in soups and stews.
Love to cook and eat
