Keto Korean Beef Stew (Galbijjim)
A rich and savory Korean beef stew made keto-friendly by omitting the traditional soy sauce and sugar, and using alternative sweeteners.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef Short Ribs
- 1 cup Radish
- 1 Onion
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
- 1 tbsp Erythritol
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 4 cups Beef Broth
- 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 2 Green Onions
Instructions
- 1Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 2 lbs of beef short ribs and sear them for 3-5 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until all sides are deeply browned.
- 2While the pot is still hot, add the 1 onion (cut into 1/2-inch dice), the 1 cup of radish (cut into 1-inch chunks), the 1 cup of mushrooms (sliced 1/4-inch thick), the 4 cloves of garlic (minced), and the 1 tbsp of ginger (grated). Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften slightly.
- 3Pour in the 1/4 cup of coconut aminos, the 1 tbsp of erythritol, the 1 tbsp of sesame oil, and the 4 cups of beef broth.
- 4Increase the heat to high and bring the stew to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef short ribs are fork-tender and easily pull apart, reaching an internal temperature of 190-205°F (88-96°C).
- 5If a thicker stew is desired, in a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum with 2 tablespoons of cold water until a smooth slurry forms. Slowly pour the xanthan gum slurry into the simmering stew, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until the stew thickens to your preferred consistency.
- 6Before serving, chop the 2 green onions into 1/4-inch pieces and sprinkle them over the stew as a garnish.
