Rich in protein, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-to-slim-muscular-legs\/\">healthy fats<\/a>, and essential nutrients, it&#8217;s no wonder that this delicious meat is a staple in the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/heavy-weight-low-reps\/\">ketogenic diet<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when it&#8217;s cold outside and you&#8217;re craving a hearty bowl of stew, you might find yourself in a bit of a pickle. That&#8217;s because most stews are loaded with starchy vegetables and thickened with flour &#8211; two ingredients that are definitely not keto-friendly. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you make beef stew thicker without flour? Will it be as hearty and filling without potatoes? These and all your other keto beef stew-related questions will be answered in this article.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Keto_Beef_Stew\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Frame_207606.gif\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_I_Substitute_for_Potatoes_in_Beef_Stew\"><\/span><strong>What Can I Substitute for Potatoes in Beef Stew?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/low-potassium-diet-menu\/\">Beef stew<\/a> is usually thickened with flour and potatoes, but we&#8217;ll be using a few keto-friendly substitutes to thicken our beef stew <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/no-carb-snacks\/\">without adding any carbs<\/a>. First, we&#8217;ll use a combination of beef broth and tomato paste to add body and depth of flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, we&#8217;ll add some low-carb vegetables like turnips, carrots, and celery to bulk up the stew and add some extra nutrients. Finally, we&#8217;ll thicken it with xanthan gum, a powder that&#8217;s often used as a low-carb flour substitute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; this keto beef stew will be just as comforting and satisfying as the original, but without all the carbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Thicken_Beef_Stew_With_Xanthan_Gum\"><\/span><strong>How Do You Thicken Beef Stew With Xanthan Gum?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-pasta-recipe\/\">Xanthan gum<\/a> sounds like something out of a science fiction novel, but it&#8217;s actually a completely natural thickener that can be used in all sorts of recipes &#8211; including beef stew. It&#8217;s derived from plants, and is totally safe to consume (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/14538095\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To use xanthan gum as a thickener, simply add a small amount (1\/4 teaspoon is usually enough) to the beef stew <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-pasta-recipe\/\">as it&#8217;s cooking<\/a>. Stir it in well, and allow the stew to simmer for a few minutes longer until it has reached the desired consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find that your beef stew is still too thin after adding xanthan gum, simply repeat the process until it reaches the perfect thickness. Just be careful not to add too much xanthan gum, as it can make the stew slimy if you use too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_If_I_Cant_Find_Xanthan_Gum\"><\/span><strong>What If I Can&#8217;t Find Xanthan Gum?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can&#8217;t find xanthan gum at your local grocery store, don&#8217;t worry &#8211; there are other options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gelatin\"><\/span><strong>Gelatin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gelatin is a protein that comes from animals, and is often used as <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/resistant-starches-list\/\">a thickener in recipes<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-1-4615-3552-2_5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

It&#8217;s similar to cornstarch, but is completely keto-friendly. To use it as a thickener, simply mix it with an equal amount of water to create a slurry, then add it to the beef stew and stir until well combined.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cream_Cheese\"><\/span><strong>Cream Cheese<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This might sound like an odd choice, but trust us &#8211; it works!

It has a mild flavor that won&#8217;t overpower the other ingredients in the stew, and it will help to thicken the broth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Celery_Root\"><\/span><strong>Celery Root<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celery root, also known as celeriac, is a type of celery that is grown for its large, bulbous root. It has a mild flavor and a firm, slightly starchy texture that makes it perfect for beef stew. It&#8217;s a great substitute for potatoes because it has a similar consistency, but without as many carbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turnips\"><\/span><strong>Turnips<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turnips are a root vegetable that are closely related to potatoes. They have a slightly sweet and peppery flavor, and they become very tender when cooked. They make an excellent addition to beef stew, and can be used in place of potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mushrooms\"><\/span><strong>Mushrooms<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mushrooms are a classic ingredient in beef stew, and for good reason &#8211; they add a delicious earthy flavor to the dish.

Because you&#8217;ll only be using a few carrots, they won&#8217;t add too many carbs to the dish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, there are plenty of keto-friendly vegetables that you can add to your beef stew.

If you&#8217;re looking to make a healthier beef stew, you should use a leaner cut of meat, such as chuck roast, round roast, or sirloin. These cuts of beef are lower in fat and calories, but still have plenty of flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid pre-packaged &#8220;stewing beef,&#8221; as this is usually made from coarsely ground or low-quality meat. It will also be higher in fat and calories than a leaner cut of beef.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get soft, tender beef stew, you&#8217;ll need to cook the meat until it&#8217;s falling apart.

The articles she writes focus on providing factual information \u2013 but never at the expense of providing an entertaining read. Her interest in health &amp; wellness was sparked by her motherhood journey. She realized just how much damage misinformation could cause, especially when it is targeted at new moms who are keen on postpartum weight loss. So for years, she has worked hard to demystify the seemingly complex concepts of health &amp; wellness. Eventually, she made one startling discovery that she wishes to share with all \u2013 there is no short cut. Consistency and hard work are the keys to a healthy mind and body. But, writing is not all she does. Being a mother to an energetic toddler means her free time is spent exploring the outdoors, arms laden with cotton candy and toys.
