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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 6Before serving, chop the 2 green onions into 1/4-inch pieces and sprinkle them over the stew as a garnish.
