Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef chuck steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 small Carrot, diced (optional for minimal carb impact)
- 2 stalks Celery, diced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Sugar-free ale or low-carb beer
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Butter, cold and cubed
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the beef chuck steak with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the beef until browned on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the garlic, onion, carrot (if using), celery, and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Pour the sugar-free ale into the pan to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the beef to the pan and add the beef broth, tomato paste, and thyme. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow the mixture to simmer for 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender.
Once the filling is done, sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture and stir well to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
To make the keto crust, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and water, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle large enough to cover your pie dish.
Transfer the beef filling into a pie dish, then carefully lay the crust over the top, trimming any excess dough.
Seal the edges and make a small slit in the center of the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.
