Ingredients

  • For the Filling
  • 1.5 lbs beef stew meat cubed
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup low-carb stout or keto-friendly beer
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Keto Crust
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup cold butter cubed
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the filling: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Brown the beef stew meat on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic: In the same pot, sauté the chopped onions and garlic for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the stout and broth: Stir in the low-carb stout, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and fresh thyme. Return the browned beef to the pot, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for 1.5-2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Make the keto crust: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the beaten egg and cheddar cheese (if using), forming a dough.
  • Assemble the pie: Transfer the beef filling into an oven-safe pie dish. Roll out the keto dough between two sheets of parchment paper, then place it over the beef filling. Trim the edges and press down lightly to seal.
  • Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.
  • Serve: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this keto-friendly comfort food!
