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

October 22, 2014 at 8:12 amI 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
October 23, 2014 at 12:30 pmThis 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
November 5, 2014 at 8:31 pmThis sounds and looks delicious!! Can’t wait to try it.
Roberta says
January 26, 2015 at 10:34 amMade 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
March 5, 2015 at 12:23 pmThis 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
March 19, 2015 at 5:07 amThis 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??

May 4, 2015 at 8:23 pmMade 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
June 7, 2015 at 6:35 amLooks so delicious! Making it today 🙂 If I add sweet potatoes…when should I add them?
Thanks!
Celeste says
July 27, 2015 at 10:01 amI would add them maybe an hour or two before its finished.
Jess says
June 19, 2015 at 6:25 amThis turned out even better than expected. 🙂 Didn’t miss the potatoes at all!
Celeste says
July 27, 2015 at 10:00 amBest beef stew recipe I have found!! Filling, flavorful and not too much tomato like some…..
romeo says
August 9, 2015 at 5:42 pmThe 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
October 17, 2017 at 12:22 pmXanthan gum, my friend. Sprinkle and stir, thickens it up like a charm.
Stefanie says
January 6, 2019 at 8:42 amI second that! Xanthan gum has saved my stews so many times.
Monica says
October 27, 2015 at 6:25 pmI 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
November 8, 2015 at 4:33 pmI made this on the stovetop tonight, and it was great! I will definitely be making this again soon. Thanks for the recipe!
Jake says
January 22, 2016 at 7:16 amDo you HAVE to sear the beef? I just wanna throw it in the crock
Peace Love and Low Carb says
January 22, 2016 at 12:59 pmNo, you do not have to. It just adds a little extra flavor
Lauren says
February 22, 2016 at 5:35 pmI’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
February 26, 2016 at 9:13 amI would go ahead and add it in right in the beginning with everything else.
Dina says
April 22, 2016 at 7:29 pmI 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
June 1, 2016 at 5:48 pmOkay 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
June 28, 2016 at 9:42 amCould chicken broth be subbed for beef stock? lol. It’s what I have 🙁
Peace Love and Low Carb says
June 28, 2016 at 10:16 amYes, I think that would work out just fine.
Kim says
August 22, 2016 at 12:35 pmCan u freeze left overs? Thank u.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
August 23, 2016 at 3:43 pmYes, we often make a double batch and freeze it in portions.
Jessie says
September 3, 2016 at 3:59 pmAll 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
September 30, 2016 at 2:48 pmThis is an awesome recipe, its so delicious and truly hearty! i’ve made it 3 times already, can’t get enough
Marcie says
October 16, 2016 at 2:51 pmWe 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
November 27, 2016 at 6:52 amWe 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
November 27, 2016 at 10:08 amThank you. So happy you enjoyed it!!
Dee says
December 17, 2016 at 4:27 pmI 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
October 17, 2017 at 12:21 pmI 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
March 29, 2018 at 7:39 pmI am making this tomorrow for dinner tomorrow night!!! It sounds so GOOD!!!
Anu says
May 7, 2018 at 8:14 amThis 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!

March 24, 2019 at 4:42 pmThis recipe is amazing! But how long does it last in the fridge?

Mike says
September 9, 2018 at 12:45 pmExcellent 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.
★★★★★
Bonnie says
January 21, 2019 at 9:20 amI am fairly new to canning. Would canning this require a water bath or pressure?
★★★★★
Sandy says
October 4, 2018 at 12:26 pmoh 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
October 7, 2018 at 10:21 amI usually buy a chuck roast and cut it up instead of using stew meat.
Michala says
January 28, 2019 at 10:51 amAh! She does it again! We’re in sub-zero temps this week so I thought a great beef stew would be a great way to beat the cold AND get back on track with carbs after a way-too-long “holiday” break. This. Recipe. Rocks!!!!!! It is so filling I didn’t miss the potato of a traditional stew at all! It is seasoned to perfection. There’s nothing particularly spicy in the ingredients, but the pepper and onion join together to add just enough spice to keep you warm. Mmmmmmmm! This is one of those recipes where I don’t mind that I live alone and have to eat it every day for a week!
★★★★★
Michala Martin says
January 28, 2019 at 11:33 amI do need to add, however, that it does not yield 10 servings if they’re 1cup each. I followed the recipe exactly and I got exactly 6 servings at 1 cup each. Because of that, I wanted to double check the nutrition info. When I put it into MyFitnessPal the nutrition info is almost 11net carbs per serving. Still fine with me, just wanted to make sure others were aware.

Rebecca says
February 9, 2019 at 12:19 pmThanks for that michala! I’m going to try it in my instant pot tonight.
megan says
February 12, 2019 at 2:39 pmHow long would you cook this is you used an Instant Pot instead of a crock pot? Sounds delicious!
James says
February 16, 2019 at 7:38 amCarrots are not keto what so ever ….
Rule of thumb if a vegetable grows above ground it probably contains low enough carb count to be keto friendly … if a vegetable grows below ground there high starched high carb vegetables…. #ketocouplelifechange
3 grams of sugar and 6 carbs in a medi carrot
Kyndra Holley says
February 16, 2019 at 10:19 amYou are definitely entitled to your own opinion. However, foods are not “keto” or “not keto” Keto is a metabolic state. Furthermore, I will never be one to demonize vegetables. In all of the years I struggled with my weight, I can say with absolute certainty that it was not a result of eating too many carrots (or other “not keto” vegetables.
Catherine says
February 28, 2019 at 3:37 pmOne of the most delicious Keto recipes we have found. I would eat this even if I wasn’t eating Keto. Made my new recipe book, for sure! Thank you.

Alison says
March 12, 2019 at 10:51 amFlavor is amazing but beef totally dried out. Any ide on the culprit? Poor meat quality? Too long cooking? I seared it hoping to avoid that… want to love this recipe but need a fix on the dry meat!
★★★★
Mike says
March 28, 2019 at 3:36 amI made this but didn’t add the salt as the bacon and stock have plenty it was delicious but way to salty for my palate, now I need to try again with homemade stock. 10/10 would make again
