Keto Recipe: Carne Guisada (Beef Stew)

Updated: Dec 13, 2020

We've combined the flavors of both a Mexican and Puerto Rican Guisada into a delicious and hearty stew you'll make again and again. You can make this stovetop or in a crock-pot, either way the meat will be tender and flavorful. Instead of potatoes we used turnips and diced them into 1/2" cubes. Enjoy!

Keto Guisada

  • 1T oil (olive or coconut)

  • 3 lbs beef stew meat, cubed (we use chuck roast)

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 green bell pepper, minced

  • 6oz tomato paste

  • 1-2T adobo sauce

  • 1T minced garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1T dried cilantro leaves or 1 bunch of fresh

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 2 tsp salt (divided)

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 2-3c water or beef broth (just enough to cover)

  • 2 small turnips*, cubed

  • 1 carrot, sliced (optional)

1. If you're using a crock-pot, turn it on high while your prepping the meat.

2. Heat the oil in a large soup pot on medium high. Add cubed meat and season with 1 tsp salt. Cook a few minutes on each side.

3. Once the meat has browned on all sides, it will not be cooked through yet, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and stir.

4. Cover and turn down to low and cook for an 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. If you're using a crock-pot, transfer now and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low 7-8.


*NOTE: Instead of turnips we have used diced chayote or radishes with good results.
