Hearty Slow Cooker Low Carb Beef Stew – Beef Stew is a great way to use up leftover meat and veggies.
Beef Stew is a great way to use up leftover meat and veggies. I have made this dish so many times and each batch is different from the last.Other vegetables I have added are cauliflower, green beans, sweet potato, rutabaga, and radishes. To make this dish paleo, omit the Worcestershire sauce or substitute with Coconut Aminos

I made this on Monday. Not only is it delicious but it is incredibly filling. I’ve been trying to eat healthy and save money on eating out for lunch so I’ve been making a lot of crock pot meals lately. I dished out a small serving and couldn’t even finish it! Very hearty for sure which is great!!! I have right now at home your chicken brocooli slow cooker chowder going in my crock pot. I’ll be sure to post about it on that page after I try it for dinner. Im off now to heat up my beef stew leftovers! 🙂
Nomzain says
This stew is incredibly delicious. I hopped mine up with chopped jalapenos and an extra dollop of tomato paste becuase I like a spicy stew. It turned out beautifully. I am so pleased with this recipe. Thank you.
Victoria says
This sounds and looks delicious!! Can’t wait to try it.
Roberta says
Made this last night and OMG amazing!! I made it on the stove instead of the crock pot and it came out incredibly delicious! Eating leftovers now for lunch…yum!
Susan says
This has been a hit with family and friends. It’s also a very forgiving recipe. I’ve made it slightly different each time and it’s always great. We like things a bit spicy so our favorite adaptation now is to replace the tomatoes and tomato paste with a 16-oz jar of Newman’s Own Pineapple Salsa. Sounds weird but it works for us. We also go for a medium onion and a larger amount of bell pepper. This recipe rolls with all the changes and it turns out rich and satisfying every time. We can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Devy says
This sounds great. I am going to try Susan’s Pineapple Salsa idea. That doesn’t sound weird at all. It sounds awesome! Do you think this will work with chicken breasts??

Made this for my family tonight. I added a little extra Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and tomato paste, and because my wife is allergic to mushrooms, I substituted an extra carrot and an extra rib of celery. Boy, was this a hit! All my chilluns gave me thumbs up.
Jenn says
Looks so delicious! Making it today 🙂 If I add sweet potatoes…when should I add them?
Thanks!
Celeste says
I would add them maybe an hour or two before its finished.
Jess says
This turned out even better than expected. 🙂 Didn’t miss the potatoes at all!
Celeste says
Best beef stew recipe I have found!! Filling, flavorful and not too much tomato like some…..
romeo says
The flavor came out pretty good but was way too soupy for beef stew, I added a couple tablespoons of almond meal to try and thicken it but didn’t help pretty much came out like beef soup instead of stew lol Will try with just 1 cup of the beef broth next time or maybe omit it altogether.
Rachael says
Xanthan gum, my friend. Sprinkle and stir, thickens it up like a charm.
Stefanie says
I second that! Xanthan gum has saved my stews so many times.
Monica says
I left out a few things (bell pepper – don’t like – bacon – no time to cook and beef broth – didn’t have)and it was still delicious!! Confession, I did drop in a few potatoes since it was for the family, too, but I ate around those.
Carrie says
I made this on the stovetop tonight, and it was great! I will definitely be making this again soon. Thanks for the recipe!
Jake says
Do you HAVE to sear the beef? I just wanna throw it in the crock
Peace Love and Low Carb says
No, you do not have to. It just adds a little extra flavor
Lauren says
I’ve had this white sweet potato lying around for a bit, would it be an interesting addition? At what point should I add it? Thanks in advance!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I would go ahead and add it in right in the beginning with everything else.
Dina says
I made this last night, April 22,2016 and it was delicious!!!!! I am definitely going to make this again and share with my family.
Gabrielle says
Okay so I was lazy and didn’t want to go pick up carrots and celery so I skipped it and had a pretty meaty stew. Which I loved. A lot. This stew will take over my life. Thanks for the share!
Peop says
Could chicken broth be subbed for beef stock? lol. It’s what I have 🙁
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, I think that would work out just fine.
Kim says
Can u freeze left overs? Thank u.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, we often make a double batch and freeze it in portions.
Jessie says
All I can say is WOW. I have made beef stew before,but this is the best.I added a potato 1 hour before it was done ,for my husband and we both loved it.Thank you
Melissa says
This is an awesome recipe, its so delicious and truly hearty! i’ve made it 3 times already, can’t get enough
Marcie says
We are doing low carb so this was perfect. We have serious potato addictions so instead of potato I added radishes (quartered). Also added some cayenne pepper for heat and made this on the stove top. Didn’t have cans of tomatoes do added 3 fresh chopped Romas instead. Yum!!
Brett Norris says
We have used this recipe so many times it is wonderful. I own a plumbing company and we often scale this recipe up and feed our crews later in the evening!! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely meal…
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Thank you. So happy you enjoyed it!!
Dee says
I christened my new slow cooker with this recipe and made it for dinner tonight, it’s SO GOOD! I added in some red pepper flakes for a little kick and served over creamy mashed cauliflower. Will definitely be adding this to my winter stew rotation!!
Rachael says
I made this and sprinkled it with some xanthan gum when it was done cooking. It gives it an amazing thick consistency, like a grown-up and complexly flavored Dinty Moore beef stew. I highly recommend.
Lisa says
I am making this tomorrow for dinner tomorrow night!!! It sounds so GOOD!!!
Anu says
This is wonderful! So easy, so versatile, and so so delicious! I made the recipe as written this time, but I imagine I will have a lot of fun with this experimenting with different herbs and vegetables. Thank you so much!

Mike says
Excellent recipe thank you! My wife does not eat beef stew and my kids are all off to college now. So I am canning the leftovers in pint jars to take to work for lunches. This way I do not have to struggle to try and eat it before it goes bad. Thank you again for this canning friendly recipe.

Sandy says
oh I like the idea of canning it, though I have never canned a thing, I may learn for this. Question: what cut of beef do you prefer for you stew? Anytime I buy the “stew meat” it is usually chewy and grisly. suggestions?
Connie says
I usually buy a chuck roast and cut it up instead of using stew meat.
