Keto Beef Stew

Rich, hearty keto beef stew is a filling, nutritious, low-carb take on a traditional stew that's almost too good to be true... almost! Tender, juicy chuck roast is simmered in broth with carrots, celery, onion, and spices, then served on its own or with a helping of mashed cauliflower.
