Spring Keto Stew with Venison

Jump to recipe

Is it springtime yet? I heard the equinox was March 20th so I think our Spring Keto Stew with Venison qualifies, although our friends on the east coast shoveling snow may argue otherwise. Either way, this Perfect Keto favorite will keep you feeling cozy and also ready to dominate. Sourcing quality beef or venison and including bone broth make it absolutely jam-packed with collagen and essential nutrients that will make your joints, connective tissues, and digestive tract feel amazing.

You can use stewing beef if you can’t find venison, but if you’re in an area where they are overpopulated, it’s an incredibly sustainable and healthy meat option. Check out the macros here and notice it’s pretty high in protein. If you can, source the best and fattiest cuts of meat you can for this dish and don’t over do your protein intake if you want to maintain ketosis. High quality beef and venison is a tremendous way to get a concentrated source of omega 3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory. Your best bet for bone broth is Kettle and Fire.

What’s the difference between stew and soup anyways? A stew is made from solid ingredients that have been cooked in a liquid (water, broth, wine, beer) and then served in the resulting gravy. A soup has a far higher liquid to meat and veggie ratio. Chowders are when flour is included… so you might have to look elsewhere for those 🙂

This is also a great slow cooker way to make on a Sunday and knock out your meals for the week. Don’t skimp on the olive oil in this baby!

  1. Are you sure it is supposed be a whole bulb and not a clove of garlic? Only one clove doesn’t seem like enough, but a whole bulb seems like a lot unless you are making 5 gallons.
